Section 2.5 Transfers Not Effected at or Prior to the Effective Time; Transfers Deemed Effective as of the Effective Time.

(a) To the extent that any Transfers of any Assets (including the capital stock or equity interest of any members of the ADI Group or the Resideo Group) or Assumptions of any Liabilities contemplated by this Article II shall not have been consummated at or prior to the Effective Time (such Assets subject to such delayed Transfer, the “Deferred Assets” and such Liabilities subject to such delayed Assumptions, the “Deferred Liabilities”), the Parties shall, except as contemplated by the Internal Reorganization or the Separation Plan, use reasonable best efforts to effect such Transfers or Assumptions as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require or constitute the Transfer of any Assets or the Assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or operation of Law cannot be Transferred or Assumed; provided, however, that the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to seek to obtain, in accordance with applicable Law, any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals for the Transfer of all Assets and Assumption of all Liabilities contemplated to be Transferred and Assumed pursuant to this Article II to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. In the event that any such Transfer of Assets or Assumption of Liabilities has not been consummated by the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, (i) the Party (or relevant member in its Group) retaining such Deferred Assets shall thereafter, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hold (or shall cause such member in its Group to hold) such Deferred Assets in trust for the use and benefit of the Party entitled thereto (at the expense of the Party entitled thereto), and (ii) the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities shall, or shall cause the applicable member of its Group to, pay or reimburse the Party retaining such Deferred Liabilities for all amounts paid or incurred in connection with the retention of such Deferred Liabilities, as if the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities had Assumed such Deferred Liabilities at the Effective Time and such that the Parties are in the same net economic position as they would have been in if the Party intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities had Assumed such Deferred Liabilities. To the extent the foregoing applies to any Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed solely by Section 2.3) to be assigned for which any necessary Consents or Governmental Approvals are not received prior to the Effective Time, the treatment of such Contracts shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8, to the extent applicable. In addition, the Party retaining such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities (or relevant member of its Group) shall (or shall cause such member in its Group to) treat or operate, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities in the ordinary course of business and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Deferred Assets are to be Transferred or the Party to be Assuming such Deferred Liabilities, in order to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in the same position as if such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities had been Transferred or Assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for income and gain, and dominion, control and command over such Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the relevant member or members of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as applicable, entitled to the receipt of such Deferred Assets or required to Assume such Deferred Liabilities. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.2(c) and Section 2.8(b), each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Deferred Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have Assumed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement all of the Deferred Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to Assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If and when the Consents, Governmental Approvals or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.5(a), are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected without further consideration in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.2) or the applicable Ancillary Agreement, and shall, to the extent possible without the imposition of any undue cost on any Party, be deemed to have become effective as of the Effective Time.

(c) The Party (or relevant member of its Group) retaining any Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or otherwise, shall (i) not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Party (or relevant member of its Group) intended to Assume such Deferred Liabilities, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar or other incidental fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party (or relevant member of its Group) entitled to such Deferred Assets or the Person intended to be subject to such Deferred Liabilities and (ii) be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses or other Liabilities arising out of any actions (or omissions to act) of such retaining Party taken at the direction of the other Party (or relevant member of its Group) in connection with and relating to such retained Deferred Assets or Deferred Liabilities, as the case may be.

(d) After the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) may receive mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications properly belonging to another Party (or any member of its Group). Accordingly, at all times after the Effective Time, each Party (or any member of its Group) is hereby authorized to receive and, if reasonably necessary to identify the proper recipient in accordance with this Section 2.5(d), open all mail, packages, electronic mail and any other written communications received by such Party (or any member of its Group) that belongs to such other Party (or any member of its Group), and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party (or any member of its Group), the receiving Party (or any member of its Group) shall promptly deliver such mail, packages, electronic mail or any other written communications (or, in case the same also relates to the business of the receiving Party or another Party, copies thereof) to such other Party (or any member of its Group) as provided for in Section 9.6; it being understood that if a Party (or any member of its Group) receives a telephone call that relates to the business of the other Party (or any member of its Group), then the receiving Party (or any member of its Group) shall inform the person making such telephone call to contact the other Party (or any member of its Group). The provisions of this Section 2.5(d) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by any Party (or any member of its Group) to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and no Party (or any member of its Group) is or shall be deemed to be the agent of any other Party (or any member of its Group) for service of process purposes.

(e) Unless otherwise determined by Resideo in good faith, with respect to Assets and Liabilities described in Section 2.5(a), each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, (i) treat for all Tax purposes (A) the Deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Deferred Assets not later than the Effective Time and (B) the Deferred Liabilities as liabilities having been Assumed and owned by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the Effective Time and (ii) neither report nor take any Tax position (on a Tax Return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law or good-faith resolution of a Tax Contest).

Section 2.6 Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Separation Plan, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or after the date hereof by the appropriate entities to the extent not executed prior to the date hereof, any Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments necessary to evidence the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets and the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Group of the applicable Liabilities to be Assumed hereunder for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to Delaware Law or the Laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer or Assumption, and for Transfers or Assumptions to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. Laws, in such form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property by mutually acceptable conveyance deeds as may be appropriate and in form and substance as may be required by the jurisdiction in which the real property is located. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required (including in any non-U.S. jurisdiction) to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable Law, by notation on public registries.

Section 2.7 Further Assurances; Ancillary Agreements.

(a) In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement and subject to the limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.5, each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause each other member of its Group to use) reasonable best efforts, at and after the Distribution Date, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the Separation Plan.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, at and after the Distribution Date, subject to Section 9.5(c), each Party shall (and shall cause each other member of its Group to) cooperate with the other Party (and each other member of its Group) to execute and deliver, or use reasonable best efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer or title, and to make all filings with relevant Governmental Entities or other Persons, and to obtain all Consents or Governmental Approvals with respect to any permit, license or Contract, and to take all such other actions as such Party (or other member of its Group) may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party (or other member of its Group) from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, in order to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Separation Plan and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 9.5(c), each Party shall (and shall cause each other member of its Group to) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party (or other member of its Group) such title and such rights as possessed by the transferring Party (or other member of its Group) to the Assets allocated to the other Party (or other member of its Group) under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, free and clear of any Security Interest.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any Party (or member of such Party’s Group) receives any Assets (including the receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts receivable with respect to such Asset) or is liable for any Liability that is otherwise allocated to any Person that is a member of the other Group pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party agrees to promptly Transfer, or cause to be Transferred such Asset or Liability to the other Party so entitled thereto (or member of such other Party’s Group as designated by such other Party) at such other Party’s expense. Prior to any such Transfer, such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, shall be held in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.

(d) On or prior to the Distribution Date, each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall enter into, or (where applicable) shall cause a member or members of their respective Group to enter into, the Ancillary Agreements and any other Contracts reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(e) On or prior to the Distribution Date, Resideo and ADI SpinCo in their respective capacities as direct or indirect stockholders of their respective Subsidiaries, shall each ratify any actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to be taken by any Subsidiary of Resideo or Subsidiary of ADI SpinCo, as the case may be, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

(f) The Parties agree that any and all determinations as to whether an Asset or Liability is an ADI Asset, Resideo Retained Asset, ADI Liability or Resideo Retained Liability, as applicable, (i) shall be made by Resideo after reasonable inquiry and in good faith to the extent the value of such Asset or Liability (as reasonably determined by Resideo) is $500,000 or less and such determination shall be binding on the Parties, and (ii) shall be discussed in good faith with the intent of agreeing on the allocation of such Asset or Liability between the Parties to the extent the value of such Asset or Liability (as reasonably determined by Resideo) is in excess of $500,000, it being understood that if the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the allocation of such Asset or Liability after a reasonable period of time, the Parties shall resolve such disagreement in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement.

(g) Following the Distribution Date, the Parties acknowledge that the Government Import/Export Accounts will remain with the applicable Group as set forth on Schedule 1.1(49), provided, that, (i) any Assets, benefits, rights, claims or Liabilities in connection therewith will be apportioned between the ADI Group and Resideo Group pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto), (ii) Resideo shall have access to, and control of, the portion of the Government Import/Export Accounts in respect of the Resideo Retained Business, including any necessary login credentials and the ability to upload any required documentation to any customs portal associated with the Government Import/Export Accounts, and (iii) ADI SpinCo shall have access to, and control of, the portion of the Government Import/Export Accounts in respect of the ADI Business, including any necessary login credentials and the ability to upload any required documentation to any customs portal associated with the Government Import/Export Accounts. To the extent there are any claims in respect of the Resideo Retained Business or ADI Business (including any administrative claims, drawback and refund claims), as applicable, or Resideo or ADI SpinCo wishes to make any such claims in respect of its respective Business, in each case, related to the Government Import/Export Accounts, Resideo or ADI SpinCo, as applicable, shall act at the direction of the other Party with respect thereto and the Party acting at the direction of the other Party shall be indemnified for all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of any such actions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) any documentation relating to the Resideo Retained Business uploaded to any customs portal in respect of the Government Import/Export Accounts shall be deemed “Confidential Information” of Resideo hereunder, and (ii) any documentation relating to the ADI Business uploaded to any customs portal in respect of the Government Import/Export Accounts shall be deemed “Confidential Information” of ADI SpinCo hereunder.

Section 2.8 Novation of Liabilities; Indemnification.

(a) Subject to Section 9.5(c), each Party, at the request of any member of the other Party’s Group (such other Party, the “Other Party”), shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any Consent, Governmental Approval, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law all obligations under Contracts (other than Shared Contracts, which shall be governed by Section 2.3) and Liabilities (other than with regard to guarantees or Credit Support Instruments, which shall be governed by Section 2.9), but solely to the extent that the Parties (or applicable members of their respective Groups) are jointly or each severally liable with regard to any such Contracts or Liabilities and such Contracts or Liabilities have been, in whole, but not in part, allocated to the first Party, or, if permitted by applicable Law, to obtain in writing the unconditional release of the applicable Other Party so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Group shall be solely responsible for such Contracts or Liabilities. In addition, with respect to any Action where any Party hereto is a defendant, when and if requested by such Party, the Other Party at its own expense will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the requesting Party as a defendant to the extent that such Action relates solely to Assets or Liabilities that the Other Party (or any member of such requesting Party’s Group) has been allocated pursuant to this Article II, and the Other Party will cooperate and assist in any required communication with any plaintiff or other related third party.

(b) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any required Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment referenced in Section 2.8(a), the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group shall continue to be bound by such Contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by applicable Law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Group who Assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “Liable Party”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Group to, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Group thereunder from and after the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Liable Party or a member of such Liable Party’s Group, as agent or subcontractor of the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Group, to the extent reasonably necessary to pay, perform and discharge fully any Liabilities, or retain the benefits (including pursuant to Section 2.5) associated with such Contract, license or other obligation, is hereby granted the right to, among other things, (i) prepare, execute and submit invoices under such Contract or license in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (ii) send correspondence relating to matters under such Contract, license or other obligation in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group), (iii) upon prior written notice, file Actions in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) in connection with such Contract, license or other obligation and (iv) otherwise exercise all rights in respect of such Contract, license or other obligation in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group); provided that (x) such actions shall be taken in the name of the Other Party (or the applicable member of such Other Party’s Group) only to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the foregoing, (y) to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Section 2.8(b) and the provisions of any more specific arrangement between a member of such Liable Party’s Group and a member of such Other Party’s Group, such more specific arrangement shall control, and (z) the Liable Party, on behalf of itself and the members of its Group, agrees not to renew or extend the term of, increase its obligations under, or Transfer to a third party, any such Contract, license or other obligation for which the Other Party or member of such Party’s Group is or may be liable without the prior written consent of the Other Party, unless all obligations of the Other Party and the other members of such Party’s Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Other Party. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided, that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Liabilities arise from such Other Party’s willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence in connection therewith, in which case such Other Party shall be responsible for such Liabilities; it being understood that any exercise of rights under this Agreement by such Other Party shall not be deemed to be willful breach, knowing violation of Law, fraud, misrepresentation or gross negligence. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or, at the direction of the Liable Party, to another member of the Liable Party’s Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such Consent, Governmental Approval, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly Transfer or cause the Transfer of all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of such Other Party or any member of such Other Party’s Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall Assume such rights and Liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Each of the applicable Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary on its part, or such Subsidiaries’ part, under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8.

EXCEPT AS MAY EXPRESSLY BE SET FORTH HEREIN, IN ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR IN ANY CONTINUING ARRANGEMENT, ALL SUCH ASSETS ARE BEING TRANSFERRED ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS (AND, IN THE CASE OF ANY REAL PROPERTY, BY MEANS OF A QUITCLAIM OR SIMILAR FORM DEED OR CONVEYANCE) AND THE RESPECTIVE TRANSFEREES SHALL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISKS THAT (I) ANY CONVEYANCE SHALL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN THE TRANSFEREE GOOD TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST AND (II) ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS OR JUDGMENTS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

(b) Each of Resideo (on behalf of itself and each member of the Resideo Group) and ADI SpinCo (on behalf of itself and each member of the ADI Group) further understands and agrees that if the disclaimer of express or implied representations and warranties contained in Section 2.10(a) is held unenforceable or is unavailable for any reason under the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States or if, under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, both Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group, on the one hand, and ADI SpinCo or any member of the ADI Group, on the other hand, are jointly or severally liable for any Resideo Retained Liability or any ADI Liability, respectively, then, the Parties intend that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary under the Laws of such foreign jurisdictions, the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the disclaimer of all representations and warranties, allocation of Liabilities among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, releases, indemnification and contribution of Liabilities) shall prevail for any and all purposes among the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries.

To the extent that following the Effective Time any Cash Equivalents are required to be transferred from any member of the Resideo Group to any member of the ADI Group or from any member of the ADI Group to any member of the Resideo Group to make effective the Internal Reorganization or the Contribution pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including if required by Law or regulation to effect the foregoing, but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, the transfer of Cash Equivalents contemplated by Section 2.12(b)), the Party receiving such Cash Equivalents shall promptly transfer an amount in cash equal to such transferred Cash Equivalents back to the transferring Party so as not to override the allocations of Assets, Liabilities and expenses related to the Internal Reorganization and the Contribution contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

The calculation of the Distribution Date Cash Amount shall be made by Resideo in good faith and shall be final and binding on ADI SpinCo, and shall not be subject to any challenge or dispute (pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII or otherwise). ADI SpinCo shall provide Resideo with such information and access as is reasonably requested by Resideo to calculate the Distribution Date Cash Amount.

Article III

THE DISTRIBUTION AND ACTIONS PENDING THE DISTRIBUTION; OTHER TRANSACTIONS

Section 3.1 Distribution. At or prior to the Distribution Date, in connection with the Contribution, ADI SpinCo shall pay or issue the Consideration to Resideo (or Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall take or cause to be taken such other appropriate actions to ensure that Resideo has the requisite number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock and ADI SpinCo Preferred Stock) and take any other action as may be requested by Resideo in order to effect the Distribution. Subject to the conditions and other terms set forth in this Article III, Resideo shall cause the Distribution Agent on the Distribution Date to make the Distribution, including by crediting the appropriate number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock to book-entry accounts for each Record Date Holder. For Record Date Holders who own Resideo Common Stock through a broker or other nominee, their shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock will be credited to their respective accounts by such broker or nominee. No action by any Record Date Holder (or such Record Date Holder’s designated transferee or transferees) shall be necessary to receive the applicable number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock (and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares) such stockholder is entitled to in the Distribution.

Section 3.2 Fractional Shares. Record Date Holders who, after aggregating the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock (or fractions thereof) to which such stockholder would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of ADI SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution, will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Fractional shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock will not be distributed in the Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. As soon as practicable after the Distribution Date, Resideo shall direct the Distribution Agent to (a) determine the number of whole shares and fractional shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock allocable to each Record Date Holder, (b) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then-prevailing trading prices on behalf of holders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (c) distribute to each Record Date Holder, such holder’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per share of ADI SpinCo Common Stock after making appropriate deductions for any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokerage fees and commissions. Such sales shall occur as soon after the Distribution Date as practicable and as determined by the Distribution Agent. None of Resideo, ADI SpinCo or the applicable Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock. Neither Resideo nor ADI SpinCo will pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares. The Distribution Agent will have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the selected broker-dealers will be Affiliates of Resideo or ADI SpinCo.

Section 3.3 Actions in Connection with the Distribution.

(a) Prior to the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall file such amendments and supplements to the Form 10 as Resideo may reasonably request, and such amendments as may be necessary in order to cause the same to become and remain effective as required by Law, including filing such amendments and supplements to the Form 10 as may be required by the Commission or federal, state or foreign securities Laws. Resideo shall, or at Resideo’s election, ADI SpinCo shall, mail (or deliver by electronic means where not prohibited by Law) to the holders of Resideo Common Stock, at such time on or prior to the Distribution Date as Resideo shall determine, the Information Statement (or a Notice of Internet Availability of the Information Statement). Promptly after receiving a request from Resideo, ADI SpinCo shall prepare and, in accordance with applicable Law, file with the Commission any such documentation that Resideo reasonably determines is necessary or desirable to effectuate the Distribution, and Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall each use reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary approvals from the Commission with respect thereto as soon as practicable.

In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, Resideo shall, and shall cause the other members of the Resideo Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the ADI Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the ADI Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the Resideo Retained Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the Resideo Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any Resideo Retained Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (b) any Resideo Retained Asset or the Resideo Retained Business, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, or (c) any breach by Resideo or any other member of the Resideo Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 5.3 Indemnification by ADI SpinCo. In addition to any other provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement requiring indemnification and except as otherwise specifically set forth in any provision of this Agreement or of any Ancillary Agreement, following the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo shall, and shall cause the other members of the ADI Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Resideo Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses of the Resideo Indemnitees to the extent relating to, arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with (a) the ADI Liabilities, including the failure of any member of the ADI Group or any other Person to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any ADI Liability in accordance with its respective terms, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, (b) any ADI Asset or the ADI Business or any other business of the ADI Group, whether arising prior to, at or after the Effective Time, or (c) any breach by ADI SpinCo or any other member of the ADI Group of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder.

Section 5.4 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) Other than with respect to Third Party Claims, which shall be governed by Section 5.4(b), each Resideo Indemnitee and ADI Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) shall notify in writing, with respect to any matter that such Indemnitee has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder), the Party which is or may be required pursuant to this Article V or pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement to make such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”), within forty-five (45) days of such determination, stating in such written notice the amount of the Indemnifiable Loss claimed, if known, and, to the extent practicable, the method of computation thereof, and referring to the provisions of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such written notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of forty-five (45) days after receipt of a notice under this Section 5.4(a) within which to respond thereto. If the Indemnifying Party fails to respond within such period, the Liability specified in such notice from the Indemnitee shall be deemed rejected by the Indemnifying Party and the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII. If such Indemnifying Party responds within such period and rejects such claim in whole or in part, the disputed matter shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(b) If a claim or demand is made against an Indemnitee by any Person who is not a Party (or otherwise a member of its Group) to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) as to which such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder), such Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim promptly (and in any event within forty-five (45) days) after the receipt of notice by such Indemnitee of the Third Party Claim or after the Indemnitee has determined such claim has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (unless such Ancillary Agreement expressly provides for separate indemnification therein, in which case any such indemnification claims shall be made thereunder), but in no event after two (2) Business Days prior to the final date of the applicable response period in respect of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide notice of any such Third Party Claim pursuant to this sentence shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim, and the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to this sentence. For all purposes of this Section 5.4(b), each Party shall be deemed to have notice of the matters set forth on Schedule 5.6(a), Schedule 5.6(b), and Schedule 5.6(c) for which it is an Indemnifying Party.

(c) Other than in the case of (i) Taxes addressed in the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall be addressed as set forth therein, or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, or (ii) any Third Party Claim set forth on Schedule 5.6(a), Schedule 5.6(b), and Schedule 5.6(c), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof, and if it does not assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the terms of Section 5.5 at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, that is (if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense) reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of an indemnification notice from such Indemnitee (it being understood that if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense within such thirty (30) day period, it shall no longer have the right to assume the defense with respect to such Third Party Claim); provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim (x) is an Action by a Governmental Entity, (y) involves an allegation of a criminal violation or (z) seeks injunctive relief against the Indemnitee other than injunctive relief that is ancillary to the primary relief sought and not reasonably likely to be material to the Indemnitee. In connection with the Indemnifying Party’s defense of a Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to reasonably participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise or settlement thereof, at its own expense and, in any event, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent Information, materials and information in such Indemnitee’s possession or under such Indemnitee’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnitee(s) or in respect of any matter for which the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense as set forth herein, such Indemnitee(s) shall be entitled to retain, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, separate counsel with respect to such matter. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article V shall be binding on the Indemnitee, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnitee unless such settlement (A) completely and unconditionally releases the Indemnitee in connection with such matter, (B) provides relief consisting solely of money damages borne by the Indemnifying Party and (C) does not involve any admission by the Indemnitee of any wrongdoing or violation of Law.

(d) If an Indemnifying Party fails for any reason to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim within the period specified in this Section 5.4, such Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party to the extent the Indemnifying Party is determined to be required to provide indemnification hereunder in respect thereof. If an Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim within the time period specified in clause (c) above, subject to compliance with the terms set forth in Section 5.5 and the terms set forth in the immediately preceding sentence and, as applicable, any relevant Ancillary Agreement, it shall not be a defense to any obligation to pay any amount in respect of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party was not consulted in the defense thereof, that such Indemnifying Party’s views or opinions as to the conduct of such defense were not accepted or adopted, that such Indemnifying Party does not approve of the quality or manner of the defense thereof or that such Third Party Claim was incurred by reason of a settlement rather than by a judgment or other determination of liability. No Indemnitee may settle, compromise or admit liability with respect to any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, or to the extent set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, absent fraud or willful misconduct by an Indemnifying Party, the indemnification provisions of this Article V shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of an Indemnitee for any monetary or compensatory damages or Indemnifiable Losses resulting from any breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any other matter subject to indemnification under this Article V, and each Indemnitee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights, claims or remedies such Person may have with respect to the foregoing other than under this Article V against any Indemnifying Party, without limitation (for the avoidance of doubt) for any rights, claims or remedies under other provisions of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, all disputes in respect of this Article V shall be resolved in accordance with Article VII.

(f) Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that none of it or its Subsidiaries or any Person claiming through it shall bring suit or otherwise assert any claim against any Indemnitee, or assert a defense against any claim asserted by any Indemnitee, before any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative agency anywhere in the world, alleging that: (a) the Assumption or retention of any ADI Liabilities by the ADI Group pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason; (b) the Assumption or retention of any Resideo Retained Liabilities by the Resideo Group pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements is void or unenforceable for any reason, or (c) the provisions of this Article V are void or unenforceable for any reason.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent (i) any claim for indemnification is made pursuant to an Ancillary Agreement and such Ancillary Agreement provides procedures for indemnification that differ from the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4, the terms of such Ancillary Agreement will govern, and (ii) any claim for indemnification is made pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such provision or Ancillary Agreement is silent on procedures for indemnification, the terms of this Section 5.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of such indemnification matters.

(h) The Parties acknowledge that Liabilities for Actions or other matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V (regardless of the parties to the Actions or nature of such other matters) may be partly the responsibility and/or Liability of the Resideo Group and partly the responsibility and/or Liability of the ADI Group, as further set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. If the Parties cannot agree on the allocation of any such responsibilities or Liabilities, they shall resolve the matter pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article VII.

Section 5.5 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.

(a) Other than as set forth in Section 5.6 with respect to any Third Party Claim addressed therein, with respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that, to the extent reasonably practicable, will preserve for all Parties any Privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.5(a) shall derogate from any Party’s rights to control the defense of any Action in accordance with Section 5.4 or as set forth in an Ancillary Agreement.

(b) Each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo agrees that at all times from and after the Distribution, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use reasonable best efforts at its own expense to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 5.6 Management of Existing Actions. This Section 5.6 shall govern the management and direction of pending Third Party Claims set forth in Schedule 5.6(a), Schedule 5.6(b) or Schedule 5.6(c), in which members of the Resideo Group or ADI Group are named as parties, but shall not alter the allocation of Liabilities which are deemed to be Resideo Retained Liabilities or ADI Liabilities, as applicable, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 5.6.

(a) From and after the Distribution, the Resideo Group shall control and direct the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claims set forth on Schedule 5.6(a).

(b) From and after the Distribution, the ADI Group shall control and direct the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claims set forth on Schedule 5.6(b).

(c) From and after the Distribution, with respect to the Third Party Claims set forth on Schedule 5.6(c) (“Joint Actions”), the Party specified on such Schedule 5.6(c) shall be solely responsible for controlling and directing the defense and prosecution of any such Third Party Claim (the “Managing Party”) and the Parties shall, and shall cause members of their Group to, cooperate in good faith and take all reasonable actions to permit the applicable Managing Party to control and direct each such Third Party Claim. The Party who hereunder is, or whose member of its Group is, the Managing Party, shall consult with the other Party (the “Non-Managing Party”) from time to time with respect to the Joint Actions; provided that the Managing Party shall have sole authority to select counsel for any Joint Action and be reimbursed for reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel in accordance with the allocation of Liability for such Joint Action as set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, as applicable, and the Non-Managing Party, if it elects to retain its own counsel, shall do so solely at its own expense.

(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, the rights to recovery of each Party’s Subsidiaries in respect of any past, present or future Third Party Claim is hereby delegated to such Party. It is the intent of the Parties that the foregoing delegation shall satisfy any Law requiring such delegation to be effected pursuant to a power of attorney or similar instrument. The Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall execute such further instruments or documents as may be necessary to effect such delegation.

(e) With respect to any Third Party Claim managed pursuant to this Section 5.6 that involves both a Resideo Retained Liability and an ADI Liability, no Party managing such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided no such consent shall be required if the judgment or settlement (i) contains no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person, (ii) involves only monetary relief which the Managing Party has agreed to pay and (iii) includes a full and unconditional release of the Non-Managing Party and other members of its Group.

Section 5.7 Indemnification Payments. Subject to Section 9.11(b), indemnification required by this Article V shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of Indemnifiable Losses in a timely fashion during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred; provided, that, any Party receiving any such amounts undertakes to promptly reimburse the other Party in respect of such amounts to the extent it is finally determined pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Article VII of this Agreement that such amounts are not Indemnifiable Losses that are subject to indemnification hereunder.

Section 5.8 Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts.

(a) Any recovery by any Indemnitee for any Indemnifiable Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article V shall be calculated (i) net of Insurance Proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss and (ii) net of any proceeds actually received by such Indemnitee from any unaffiliated third party with respect to any such Liability corresponding to the Indemnifiable Loss (“Third Party Proceeds”). Accordingly, the amount which any Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article V to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article V shall be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds theretofore actually recovered by or on behalf of the Indemnitee corresponding to the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee receives a payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party corresponding to any Indemnifiable Loss (an “Indemnity Payment”) and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, then the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds (in each case, net of any documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof or taxes imposed with respect thereto) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b) Any Indemnity Payment shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 5.4(d) of the Tax Matters Agreement as necessary so that after making all payments corresponding to Taxes imposed on or attributable to such Indemnity Payment (but net of any Tax benefits resulting from the payment of such Taxes), the Indemnitee receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxes been imposed.

(c) The Parties hereby agree that an insurer or other third party that would otherwise be obligated to pay any amount shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or have any subrogation rights with respect thereto by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and that no insurer or any other third party shall be entitled to a “windfall” (e.g., a benefit they would not otherwise be entitled to receive, or the reduction or elimination of an insurance coverage obligation that they would otherwise have, in the absence of the indemnification or release provisions) by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, or cooperate with each other in collecting or recovering, any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification may be available under this Article V. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Actions to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds, and an Indemnitee need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds or Third Party Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 5.9 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement is unavailable for any reason to an Indemnitee (other than failure to provide notice with respect to any Third Party Claims in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnifying Party shall, in accordance with this Section 5.9, contribute to the Indemnifiable Losses incurred, paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of ADI SpinCo and each other member of the ADI Group, on the one hand, and Resideo and each other member of the Resideo Group, on the other hand, in connection with the circumstances which resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss, it being understood that with respect to any Indemnifiable Losses arising out of or related to information contained in the Distribution Disclosure Documents or other securities law filing, the relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact relates to information supplied by the ADI Business or a member of the ADI Group, on the one hand, or the Resideo Retained Business or a member of the Resideo Group, on the other hand.

Section 5.10 Additional Matters; Survival of Indemnities; Coordination.

(a) The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee; and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Indemnifiable Losses for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall survive the Distribution.

(b) The rights and obligations of any member of the Resideo Group or any member of the ADI Group, in each case, under this Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall survive (i) the sale or other Transfer by any Party or its Affiliates of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities and (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving either Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

Article VI

PRESERVATION OF RECORDS; ACCESS TO INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY; PRIVILEGE

Section 6.1 Preservation of Corporate Records. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or agreed in writing signed by the Parties, or as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement, with regard to any Information referenced in Section 6.2 or otherwise in a Party’s possession, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts, at such Party’s sole cost and expense, to retain such Information, until the latest of, as applicable, (i) the date on which such Information is no longer required to be retained pursuant to the applicable record retention policy of Resideo or such other member of the Resideo Group, respectively, as in effect immediately prior to the Distribution, including pursuant to any “litigation hold” issued by Resideo or such other member of the Resideo Group prior to the Distribution, (ii) the concluding date of any period as may be required by any applicable Law or Data Protection Requirement, (iii) the concluding date of any period during which such Information relates to a pending or threatened Action which is known to the members of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire, and (iv) the concluding date of any period during which the destruction of such Information could interfere with a pending or threatened investigation by a Governmental Entity which is known to the members of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as applicable, in possession of such Information at the time any retention obligation with regard to such Information would otherwise expire; provided, that with respect to any pending or threatened Action arising after the Distribution, clause (iii) of this sentence applies only to the extent that whichever member of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as applicable, is in possession of such Information has been notified in writing pursuant to a “litigation hold” by the other Party of the relevant pending or threatened Action. The Parties agree that upon written request from the other that certain ADI Information, Resideo Retained Information, or other Information relating to the transactions contemplated hereby be retained in connection with an Action, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to preserve and not to destroy or dispose of such Information without the consent of the requesting Party.

Section 6.2 Access to Information. Other than in circumstances in which indemnification is sought pursuant to Article V or elsewhere in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (in which event the provisions of such Article V or such other provisions of this Agreement or any such Ancillary Agreement shall govern) or for matters related to provision of Tax Records (in which event the provisions of the Tax Matters Agreement shall govern) and subject to appropriate restrictions for Privileged Information or Confidential Information as agreed to amongst the Parties:

(a) After the Distribution, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable and bona fide request by, and at the expense of, ADI SpinCo for specific and identified Resideo Retained Information:

(i) that (x) relates to ADI SpinCo or the ADI Business, as the case may be, prior to the Distribution or (y) is necessary for ADI SpinCo to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which Resideo or ADI SpinCo are parties, Resideo shall provide (or cause to be provided), as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if ADI SpinCo has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Resideo or any other member of the Resideo Group, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of ADI SpinCo or other members of the ADI Group; provided, that to the extent any originals are delivered to ADI SpinCo pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, ADI SpinCo shall, at its own expense, return them to Resideo within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided, further, that such obligation to provide any requested Information shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date that is the second anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided, further, that in the event that Resideo, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information would violate any Law or Contract with a third party or could reasonably result in the waiver of any Privilege, Resideo shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by ADI SpinCo; provided, however, that Resideo will reasonably cooperate with ADI SpinCo to provide such Information in a manner that would not result in violation of such Law or Contract or the loss or waiver of such Privilege.

(ii) that (x) is required by ADI SpinCo with regard to reasonable compliance with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on ADI SpinCo (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over ADI SpinCo, or (y) is for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, Action or other similar requirements, as applicable, Resideo shall provide (or cause to be provided), as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if ADI SpinCo has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of Resideo or any other member of the Resideo Group, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of ADI SpinCo or other members of the ADI Group; provided, that to the extent any originals are delivered to ADI SpinCo pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, ADI SpinCo shall, at its own expense, return them to Resideo within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided, further, that in the event that Resideo, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information would violate any Law or Contract with a third party or waive any Privilege, Resideo shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by ADI SpinCo; provided, however, that Resideo will reasonably cooperate with ADI SpinCo to provide such Information in a manner that would not result in violation of such Law or Contract or the loss or waiver of such Privilege.

(b) After the Distribution, and subject to compliance with the terms of the Ancillary Agreements, upon the prior written reasonable and bona fide request by, and at the expense of, Resideo for specific and identified ADI Information:

(i) that (x) relates to matters prior to the Distribution or (y) is necessary for Resideo to comply with the terms of, or otherwise perform under, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to which Resideo or ADI SpinCo are parties, ADI SpinCo shall provide (or cause to be provided), as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Resideo has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of ADI SpinCo or any other member of the ADI Group, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of Resideo or other members of the Resideo Group; provided, that to the extent any originals are delivered to Resideo pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Resideo shall, at its own expense, return them to ADI SpinCo within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided, further, that such obligation to provide any requested Information shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date that is the second anniversary of the Distribution Date; provided, further, that in the event that ADI SpinCo, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information would violate any Law or Contract with a third party or could reasonably result in the waiver of any Privilege, ADI SpinCo shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by Resideo; provided, however, that ADI SpinCo will reasonably cooperate with Resideo to provide such Information in a manner that would not result in violation of such Law or Contract or the loss or waiver of such Privilege.

(ii) that (x) is required by Resideo with regard to reasonable compliance with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on Resideo (including under applicable securities laws) by a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over Resideo, or (y) is for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or in order to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation, Action or other similar requirements, as applicable, ADI SpinCo shall provide (or cause to be provided), as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such request, appropriate copies of such Information (or the originals thereof if Resideo has a reasonable need for such originals) in the possession or control of ADI SpinCo or any other member of the ADI Group, but only to the extent such items so relate and are not already in the possession or control of Resideo or other members of the Resideo Group; provided, that to the extent any originals are delivered to Resideo pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, Resideo shall, at its own expense, return them to ADI SpinCo within a reasonable time after the need to retain such originals has ceased; provided, further, that in the event that ADI SpinCo, in its sole discretion, determines that any such access or the provision of any such Information would violate any Law or Contract with a third party or waive any Privilege, ADI SpinCo shall not be obligated to provide such Information requested by Resideo; provided, however, that ADI SpinCo will reasonably cooperate with Resideo to provide such Information in a manner that would not result in violation of such Law or Contract or the loss or waiver of such Privilege.

(c) Each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall inform their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors, authorized accountants, counsel and other designated representatives who have had or have access to the other Party’s Confidential Information or other information provided pursuant to this Article VI of their obligation to hold such information confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the first full fiscal year for Resideo occurring after the Distribution Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards or as required by Law for Resideo to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial results of the ADI Group were consolidated with those of Resideo), ADI SpinCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Resideo so as to enable Resideo to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial statements pursuant to applicable Law and to enable Resideo’s auditors to timely complete their annual audit and quarterly reviews of financial statements, including by providing such access to ADI Information as may be appropriate and necessary to that end. As part of such efforts, to the extent reasonably necessary for the preparation of financial statements or completing an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal control over financial reporting, (i) ADI SpinCo shall authorize and direct its auditors to make available to Resideo’s auditors, within a reasonable time prior to the date of Resideo’s auditors’ opinion or review report, both (x) the personnel who performed or will perform the annual audits and quarterly reviews of ADI SpinCo and (y) work papers related to such annual audits and quarterly reviews, to enable Resideo’s auditors to perform any procedures they consider reasonably necessary to take responsibility for the work of ADI SpinCo’s auditors as it relates to Resideo’s auditors’ opinion or report and (ii) until such audits are complete, ADI SpinCo shall provide reasonable access during normal business hours for Resideo’s internal auditors, counsel and other designated representatives to (x) the premises of ADI SpinCo and its Subsidiaries and all Information (and duplicating rights) within the knowledge, possession or control of ADI SpinCo and its Subsidiaries and (y) the officers and employees of ADI SpinCo and its Subsidiaries, so that Resideo may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by ADI SpinCo and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such access shall not be unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the ADI Group.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until the end of the first full fiscal year for ADI SpinCo occurring after the Distribution Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards or as required by Law), Resideo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with ADI SpinCo so as to enable ADI SpinCo to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial statements pursuant to applicable Law and to enable ADI SpinCo’s auditors to timely complete their annual audit and quarterly reviews of financial statements, including by providing such access to Resideo Retained Information as may be appropriate or necessary to that end.

Such certifications shall be provided in substantially the same form and manner as such ADI SpinCo officers provided prior to the Distribution (reflecting any changes in certifications necessitated by the Distribution or any other transactions related thereto) or as otherwise agreed upon between Resideo and ADI SpinCo.

Section 6.3 Witness Services. At all times from and after the Distribution, each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to make available to the other, upon reasonable written request, its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors, employees and agents (taking into account the business demands of such individuals) as witnesses to the extent that (i) such Persons may reasonably be required to testify in connection with the prosecution or defense of any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved (except for claims, demands or Actions in which one or more members of one Group is adverse to one or more members of the other Group) and (ii) there is no conflict in the Action between the requesting Party and the other Party. A Party providing a witness to the other Party under this Section 6.3 shall be entitled to receive from the recipient of such witness services, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for documented out-of-pocket expenses, including travel and lodging costs and expenses (but such costs and expenses shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses), as may be reasonably incurred as part of the provision of such services and properly paid under applicable Law.

Section 6.4 Reimbursement; Other Matters. Except to the extent otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, a Party providing Information or access to Information to the other Party under this Article VI shall be entitled to receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor, payments for such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other documented out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees of such Party or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service with respect to the foregoing), as may be reasonably incurred in providing such Information or access to such Information.

Section 6.5 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Distribution until the three (3) year anniversary following the Distribution, except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreements, each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall hold, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and their officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence (and not to disclose or release or, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, use, without the prior written consent of the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates (which may be withheld in such Party’s sole and absolute discretion, except where disclosure is required by applicable Law)), any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to the other Party or its Affiliates; provided, that each Party may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to its respective employees, officers, directors, auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, lenders, bankers, counsel and other consultants and advisors who have a need to know such Information for auditing or other bona fide business purposes and who are informed of the obligation to hold such Information confidential and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if any Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries is required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule or is advised by outside counsel in connection with a proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity that it is advisable to do so, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against the other Party or in respect of claims by one Party against the other Party brought in a proceeding, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements in connection with any regulatory filings or Tax Returns, (v) as necessary for a Party to enforce its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement, or (vi) to other Persons in connection with their evaluation of, and negotiating and consummating, a potential strategic or investment transaction, to the extent reasonably necessary in connection therewith, provided that an appropriate and customary confidentiality agreement has been entered into with the Person receiving such Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made by a third party pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify (to the extent permissible by Law) the Party to whom the Confidential Information relates of the existence of such request, demand or disclosure requirement and shall provide such affected Party a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which, at the expense of the affected Party, such Party will cooperate in obtaining to the extent legally permissible and commercially practicable. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party which faces the disclosure requirement shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps, at the other Party’s expense, to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such Confidential Information.

(b) Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of its Group may have in its or their possession confidential or proprietary Information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party while such Party or members of its Group were Subsidiaries of Resideo. Each Party shall comply, and shall cause the other members of its Group to comply, and shall cause its and their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to comply, with all terms and conditions of any such third-party agreements entered into prior to the Distribution, with respect to any confidential and proprietary Information of third parties to which it or any other member of its Group has had access.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to keeping Confidential Information confidential if they exercise at least the same degree of care that applies to Resideo’s confidential and proprietary information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any Contract between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees that survive the consummation of the Distribution on the terms set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of any Party in the possession of and used by any other Party as of the Effective Time may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of the ADI Business (in the case of the ADI Group) or the Resideo Retained Business (in the case of the Resideo Group); provided, that such Confidential Information may only be used by such Party and its officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors in the specific manner and for the specific purposes for which it is used as of the Effective Time; and provided, further, that such Confidential Information may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 6.5(a).

(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, (i) the disclosure and sharing of Privileged Information shall be governed solely by Section 6.6, and (ii) Information that is subject to any confidentiality provision or other disclosure restriction in any Ancillary Agreement shall be governed by the terms of such Ancillary Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.5, following the Distribution Date, the confidentiality obligations under this Agreement shall continue to apply to any and all Confidential Information concerning or belonging to each Party or its Group that is shared or disclosed with the other Party or its Group, whether or not such Confidential Information is shared pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise.

Section 6.6 Privilege Matters.

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution (whether by or on behalf of outside counsel, in-house counsel or other legal professionals) have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of the Resideo Group and the ADI Group, and that each of the members of the Resideo Group and the ADI Group shall be deemed to be the client in connection with such services with respect to periods prior to the Distribution for the purposes of asserting all privileges, immunities or other protections from disclosure which may be asserted under applicable Law, including attorney-client privilege, business strategy privilege, joint defense privilege, common interest privilege, and protection under the work-product doctrine (“Privilege”). The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Distribution, which services will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as the case may be.

(b)  Resideo shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Information subject to Privilege (“Privileged Information”) that relates solely to the Resideo Retained Business or the Distribution and not to the operations of the ADI Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in possession or under the control of any member of the Resideo Group or any member of the ADI Group. Resideo shall also be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Resideo Retained Assets or Resideo Retained Liabilities, and not any ADI Assets or ADI Liabilities, in connection with any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Resideo Group or any member of the ADI Group.

(c) ADI SpinCo shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the operations of the ADI Business and not to the Resideo Retained Business or the Distribution, whether or not the Privileged Information is in possession or under the control of any member of the ADI Group or any member of the Resideo Group. ADI SpinCo shall also be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any ADI Assets or ADI Liabilities, and not any Resideo Retained Assets or Resideo Retained Liabilities, in connection with any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the ADI Group or any member of the Resideo Group.

(d) Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.6, the Parties agree that Resideo shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Actions, or threatened or contemplated Actions, or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement.

(e) If any dispute arises between the Parties or any members of their respective Group regarding whether a privilege or immunity should be waived to protect or advance the interests of either Party or any member of their respective Groups, each Party agrees that it shall: (i) negotiate with the other Party in good faith; (ii) endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party and the members of its Group; and (iii) not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition consent to any request for waiver by the other Party.

(f) Upon receipt by either Party, or by any member of its respective Group, of any subpoena, discovery or other request (or of written notice that it will receive or has received such subpoena, discovery or other request) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of Privileged Information subject to a shared privilege or immunity or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or immunity, or if either Party obtains knowledge or becomes aware that any of its, or any member of its respective Group’s, current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other requests (or have received written notice that they will receive or have received such subpoena, discovery or other request) that may reasonably be expected to result in the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of any such subpoena, discovery or other request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have, under this Section 6.6 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information; provided that if such Party is prohibited by applicable Law from disclosing the existence of such subpoena, discovery or other request, such Party shall provide written notice of such related information for which disclosure is not prohibited by applicable Law and use reasonable best efforts to inform the other Party of any related information such Party reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate for the other Party to be informed of to enable the other Party to review the Privileged Information and to assert its rights, under this Section 6.6 or otherwise, to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

(g) The transfer of all Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Resideo or ADI SpinCo as set forth in Section 6.5 and this Section 6.6, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain any applicable Privilege. The access to Information being granted pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.2, the agreement to provide witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 5.5 and Section 6.3, the furnishing of notices and documents and other cooperative efforts contemplated by Section 5.5, and the transfer of Privileged Information between the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise. The Parties further agree that: (i) the exchange by one Party to the other Party of any Information that should not have been exchanged pursuant to the terms of Section 6.5 shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any privilege or immunity that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to such Privileged Information; and (ii) the Party receiving such Privileged Information shall promptly return such Privileged Information to the Party who has the right to assert the privilege or immunity.

Section 6.7 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting a license or other rights to any Party with respect to any such Information, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

Section 6.8 Processing of Personal Information. The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain matters concerning the processing, sharing, transfer and security of Personal Information may arise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. As of the Distribution Date, the Data Privacy Agreement shall govern such matters solely for the period and in the manner set out therein.

Section 6.9 Other Agreements. The rights and obligations granted under this Article VI are subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of Information set forth in any Ancillary Agreement.

Article VII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 7.1 Arbitration. Unless an Ancillary Agreement provides for an alternative dispute resolution mechanism (in which case, such alternative dispute resolution shall apply in respect of any Dispute under such Ancillary Agreement), any controversy, dispute or Action arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Action based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”), except as modified herein.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.1 will be decided (x) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $2,500,000, or (y) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $2,500,000 or more (such arbitrator, collectively, the “Arbitral Tribunal”), it being understood that if the Parties cannot agree on whether the threshold in clause (y) has been satisfied, the Arbitral Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators. The panel of three (3) arbitrators shall be selected as follows: (1) the claimant shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules, (2) the respondent shall nominate one arbitrator in accordance with the Rules within twenty-one (21) days after the appointment of the first arbitrator, and (3) the third arbitrator, who shall serve as chair, shall be jointly nominated by the two party-nominated arbitrators within twenty-one (21) days of the confirmation of the appointment of the second arbitrator. If any arbitrator is not appointed within the time limit provided herein, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Rules.

(b) The arbitration shall be held, and the award shall be rendered, in New York, New York, in the English language.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, by submitting their dispute to arbitration under the Rules, the Parties expressly agree that all issues of arbitrability, including all issues concerning the propriety and timeliness of the commencement of the arbitration (including any defense based on a statute of limitation, if applicable), the jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal, and the procedural conditions for arbitration, shall be finally and solely determined by the Arbitral Tribunal.

(d) Without derogating from Section 7.1(e) below, the Arbitral Tribunal shall have the full authority to grant any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, interim or conservatory measure or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings (“Interim Relief”). The Parties shall submit any application for Interim Relief to: (A) the Arbitral Tribunal; or (B) prior to the constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal, an emergency arbitrator appointed in the manner provided for in the Rules (the “Emergency Arbitrator”). Any Interim Relief so issued shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed a final arbitration award for purposes of enforceability, and, moreover, shall also be deemed a term and condition of this Agreement subject to specific performance set forth in Section 7.2 below. The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to continue, review, vacate or modify any Interim Relief granted by an Emergency Arbitrator. In the event an Emergency Arbitrator or the Arbitral Tribunal issues an order granting, denying or otherwise addressing Interim Relief (a “Decision on Interim Relief”), any Party may apply to enforce or require specific performance of such Decision on Interim Relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties specifically reserve the right to seek a judicial temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other similar short-term equitable relief, and grant the Arbitral Tribunal the right to make a final determination of the Parties’ rights, including whether to make permanent or dissolve such court order.

(e) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to grant any remedy or relief that it deems just and equitable and that is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including specific performance and temporary or final injunctive relief, provided, however, that the Arbitral Tribunal shall have no authority or power to limit, expand, alter, amend, modify, revoke or suspend any condition or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, nor any right or power to award punitive, exemplary or treble damages. The limitations on the Arbitral Tribunal’s authority and powers set forth in this Section 7.1(e) shall also apply to any Appeal Tribunal constituted under Section 7.1(h) below.

(f) The Arbitral Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as well as those costs and fees addressed in the Rules, between the Parties in the manner it deems fit.

(g) Other than as set forth in Section 7.1(d), Arbitration under this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Dispute, and any award rendered thereby shall be final and binding upon the Parties as from the date rendered, subject to the appellate review rights set forth in Section 7.1(h). Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including any court having jurisdiction over the relevant Party or its Assets, provided that no Party shall seek entry of judgement on an award that remains subject to appellate review under Section 7.1(h).

(h) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(g), any award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal pursuant to this Article VII (other than any Decision on Interim Relief rendered under Section 7.1(d)) shall be subject to appellate review in accordance with the Optional Appellate Arbitration Rules of the AAA then in effect (the “Appellate Rules”). The appeal tribunal shall be constituted in accordance with the Appellate Rules and shall consist of a panel of three arbitrators, none of whom shall have served on the Arbitral Tribunal that rendered the underlying award (the “Appeal Tribunal”). The substantive standard for review shall be as set forth in the Appellate Rules. The Appeal Tribunal shall have the power to allocate the costs and fees of the entire arbitration, including any appellate review process under this Section 7.1(h), and may modify any award of costs by the Arbitral Tribunal under Section 7.1(f). For the avoidance of doubt, no award subject to this Section 7.1(h) shall be considered final and binding for purposes of Section 7.1(g), and no Party shall seek to confirm or enforce such award in any court, until (i) the time for filing a notice of appeal under the Appellate Rules has expired without any Party having filed such notice, or (ii) if an appeal is filed, the Appeal Tribunal has rendered a final decision on the appeal.

Section 7.2 Specific Performance. From and after the Distribution Date, in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Parties agree that the Party or Parties to this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement who are or are to be thereby aggrieved shall, subject and pursuant to the terms of this Article VII (including for the avoidance of doubt, after compliance with all notice and negotiation provisions herein), have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Parties agree that, from and after the Distribution Date, the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Indemnifiable Loss, that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived, and that any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 7.3 Treatment of Arbitration. The Parties agree that any arbitration hereunder shall be kept confidential, and that the existence of the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any awards) shall be deemed confidential, and shall not be disclosed beyond the Arbitral Tribunal, the Parties, their counsel, and any Person necessary to the conduct of the proceeding, except as and to the extent required by Law and to defend or pursue any legal right. In the event any Party makes application to any court in connection with this Section 7.3 (including any proceedings to enforce a final award or any Interim Relief), that Party shall take all steps reasonably within its power to cause such application, and any exhibits (including copies of any award or decisions of the Arbitral Tribunal or Emergency Arbitrator) to be filed under seal, shall oppose any challenge by any third party to such sealing, and shall give the other Party immediate notice of such challenge. The confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 7.3 shall apply to any appellate proceeding conducted in accordance with Section 7.1(h), including all briefs, submissions, and decisions rendered on appeal.

Section 7.4 Continuity of Service and Performance. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

Section 7.5 Consolidation. The arbitrator may consolidate an arbitration under this Agreement with any arbitration arising under or relating to the Ancillary Agreements or any other agreement between the Parties entered into pursuant hereto, as the case may be, if the subject of the Disputes thereunder arises out of or relates essentially to the same set of facts or transactions. Such consolidated arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

Section 7.6 Coordination. Except to the extent provided in Article IX of the Tax Matters Agreement, the provisions of this Article VII (other than this Section 7.6) shall not apply with respect to the resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to Taxes or Tax matters, which shall be governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.

Article VIII

INSURANCE

Section 8.1 Insurance Matters.

(a) ADI SpinCo acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Effective Time, neither ADI SpinCo nor any member of the ADI Group shall have any rights to or under any Company Policies other than as expressly provided in Section 5.8 or this Article VIII.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to any Liability accrued or incurred by ADI SpinCo or its predecessors prior to the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo shall have access to the Company Policies if and solely to the extent that the terms of such policies provide for such coverage to ADI SpinCo or its predecessors with respect to any ADI Liabilities accrued or incurred prior to the Effective Time, and subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles and other fees and expenses, and subject to the following additional conditions:

(i) ADI SpinCo shall inform Resideo of any potential claim under any of the Company Policies with regard to any ADI Liability and Resideo shall determine whether and at what time to report any such claims under such Company Policies directly to the applicable insurance company, and to submit a claim for coverage thereunder, and Resideo shall provide a copy of all such claim reports and submissions to ADI SpinCo; provided, that with respect to any such claims, ADI SpinCo shall provide Resideo with the information regarding the claims and provide recommendations with regard to the reporting and submission of such claims, and Resideo shall consult with ADI SpinCo with regard to the timing thereof;

(ii) If and to the extent that ADI SpinCo is the sole entity recovering insurance proceeds under one or more of the Company Policies in respect of a particular claim for coverage, ADI SpinCo shall exclusively bear and be responsible for (and Resideo shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse ADI SpinCo for) and pay the applicable insurers as required under the applicable Company Policies for any and all costs as a result of having access to, or making claims under, such Company Policies, including any amounts of deductibles and self-insured retention associated with such claims, claim handling and administrative costs, collateral requirements and costs, Taxes, surcharges, additional premiums, state assessments, reinsurance costs, and other related costs, relating to all open, closed or re-opened claims covered by the applicable Company Policies, whether such claims are made by ADI SpinCo, its employees or third parties, and ADI SpinCo shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Resideo for any such amounts incurred by Resideo to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by ADI SpinCo under, any Company Policies provided pursuant to this Section 8.1. If Resideo and ADI SpinCo jointly make a claim for coverage under the Company Policies for amounts that have been or may in the future be incurred partially by Resideo and partially by ADI SpinCo, each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall proportionally bear (based on the relative losses experienced by each in respect of such claim) the amount of any deductibles under any such Company Policies and any insurance recovery resulting therefrom shall first be allocated to reimburse Resideo and ADI SpinCo for their respective costs, legal and consulting fees, and other documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in pursuing such insurance recovery, with the remaining net proceeds from the insurance recovery to be allocated as between Resideo and ADI SpinCo in proportion to the relative losses experienced by each in respect of such claim;

(iii) ADI SpinCo shall exclusively bear (and Resideo shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse ADI SpinCo for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts, incurred from and after the Effective Time, of all such claims pursued by ADI SpinCo under the Company Policies as provided for in this Section 8.1(b); and

(iv) in connection with making any joint claim under any Company Policies pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), Resideo shall control the administration of all such claims, including the timing of any assertion and pursuit of coverage (provided that Resideo shall reasonably consult with ADI SpinCo in the administration of such claims), and ADI SpinCo shall not take any action that would be reasonably likely to: (A) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Resideo and the applicable insurance company; (B) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage to Resideo or ADI SpinCo, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Resideo under the applicable Company Policies; (C) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Resideo under the applicable Company Policies; or (D) otherwise compromise or impair Resideo’s ability to enforce its rights with respect to any indemnification under or arising out of this Agreement, and Resideo shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cause ADI SpinCo to desist from any action that Resideo determines, in its sole discretion, would compromise or impair Resideo’s rights in accordance with this clause (D). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Resideo shall have acted in bad faith in connection with the administration of any claim, ADI SpinCo shall be permitted to administer such particular claim subject to the limitations set forth herein.

At all times, Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5, cooperate with reasonable requests for information by the other Party or the insurance companies regarding any such insurance policy claim.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, any director or officer of ADI SpinCo or any member of the ADI Group who served as a director or officer of Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group prior to the Effective Time shall be entitled to pursue coverage under the director and officer liability insurance policies maintained by Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group to the extent that such policies provide coverage for such director’s or officer’s acts and omissions in his or her respective capacity as director or officer of Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of such policies (including but not limited to any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles or retention amounts and other fees and expenses). On or prior to the Distribution Date, Resideo shall purchase and obtain directors and officers liability “tail” insurance, and may in its reasonable discretion purchase fiduciary liability and employment practices liability insurance, covering the ADI Group and its respective insured persons with respect to claims or other matters arising out of acts, omissions or other matters occurring at or prior to the Distribution Date.

(d) Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 8.1(b) shall at Resideo’s election either be billed by Resideo to ADI SpinCo on a monthly basis and ADI SpinCo shall pay such billed payments, costs and adjustments to Resideo within sixty (60) days from receipt of invoice, or billed directly by the applicable third party to ADI SpinCo. If Resideo incurs costs to enforce ADI SpinCo’s obligations under this Section 8.1, ADI SpinCo agrees to indemnify Resideo for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the Effective Time, neither ADI SpinCo nor any member of the ADI Group shall have any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance arrangement of Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group. In addition, as of the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo, for itself and each member of the ADI Group does hereby remise, release and forever discharge Resideo and the other members of the Resideo Group of any rights or claims against or with respect to any self-insurance arrangement of Resideo or any member of the Resideo Group.

(f) On the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with ADI SpinCo’s statutory obligations as of the Distribution Date.

(g) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance in its entirety, nor is it considered to be itself a contract of insurance, and further this Agreement shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of Resideo under or with respect to any of the Company Policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance, and Resideo reserves all of its rights under such Policies.

(h) Resideo shall not be liable to ADI SpinCo for claims (or portions thereof) not reimbursed by insurers for any reason, including coinsurance provisions, deductibles, quota share deductibles, exhaustion of aggregates, self-insured retentions, bankruptcy or insolvency of an insurance carrier, Company Policy limitations or restrictions, any coverage disputes, any failure to timely claim by Resideo or any defect in such claim or its processing.

(i) In the event that Insured Claims of more than one Party exist relating to the same occurrence, the relevant Parties shall jointly defend and waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to the conduct of the joint defense. Nothing in this Section 8.1(i) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those obligations under Article V, those created by this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(j) In the event of any Action by any Party (or both of the Parties) to recover or obtain insurance proceeds, or to defend against any Action by an insurance carrier to deny any Policy benefits, both Parties may join in any such Action and be represented by joint counsel and both Parties shall waive any conflict of interest to the extent necessary to conduct any such Action. Nothing in this Section 8.1(j) shall be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the obligations of the Parties, including those created under Article V of this Agreement or otherwise, by operation of Law, or otherwise.

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8.1, to the extent Resideo has entered into or agrees to enter into, whether on its own or with respect to any arrangement provided for under this Section 8.1, any settlement agreement or other arrangement with any insurance provider regarding coverage under any Company Policy that provides for any limitation of coverage or release of such insurance provider with regard to any coverage thereunder, whether in whole or in part (collectively, the “Released Insurance Matters”), ADI SpinCo agrees that it shall (i) abide by the terms of and, to the extent required, consent to, any such settlement or arrangement relating to the Released Insurance Matters as a condition to receiving any coverage under any Company Policy related thereto, (ii) have no rights to any such coverage under the Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters and (iii) make no claims under any Company Policies with respect to any Released Insurance Matters.

Section 8.2 Certain Matters Relating to Organizational Documents. From the Distribution Date until six (6) years following the Distribution Date, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of ADI SpinCo shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification of directors and officers than those set forth in the Charter or Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for such period in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were indemnified under the Charter or Bylaws, unless such amendment, repeal, or other modification shall be required by Law and then only to the minimum extent required by Law or approved by ADI SpinCo’s stockholders.

Section 8.3 Indemnitor of First Resort. As a result of agreements or obligations arising out of this Agreement, certain of the directors and officers of ADI SpinCo and its Subsidiaries designated by Resideo or its Affiliates (the “Resideo D&O Indemnitees”) have or will have rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by Resideo or certain of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Resideo Indemnitors”) in connection with their service as directors or officers of ADI SpinCo or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any such rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by any Resideo Indemnitor, (a) ADI SpinCo is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., ADI SpinCo’s obligations to the Resideo D&O Indemnitees are primary, and any obligation of the Resideo Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any Resideo D&O Indemnitee are secondary), (b) ADI SpinCo shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the Resideo D&O Indemnitees and shall be liable for the full amount of all Indemnifiable Losses paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement, any other agreement between ADI SpinCo and the Resideo D&O Indemnitees or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of ADI SpinCo and (c) ADI SpinCo hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each of the Resideo Indemnitors from any and all claims against any of the Resideo Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. In addition, notwithstanding any advancement or payment by the Resideo Indemnitors to or on behalf of any Resideo D&O Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which a Resideo D&O Indemnitee has sought or may seek indemnification from ADI SpinCo, (i) ADI SpinCo’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, (ii) the Resideo Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Resideo D&O Indemnitee, as applicable, against ADI SpinCo and (iii) for the avoidance of doubt, all damages, costs, losses, and other Liabilities incurred by any Resideo D&O Indemnitee in connection with his or her service as a director or officer of ADI SpinCo or any of its Subsidiaries shall constitute ADI Liabilities.

(iv) in any other manner as determined by Resideo in its sole discretion.

(c) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes, the payment procedures described in Section 9.11(b) are intended to comply with Section 357(a) of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder as of the date of this Agreement) with respect to the Contribution.

Section 9.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except (i) as provided in Article V relating to Indemnitees and for the release under Section 5.1 of any Person provided therein and (ii) as specifically provided in any Ancillary Agreement, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, claim of Action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

(a) The Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed with and as an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the same had been set forth verbatim herein. Nothing in the Exhibits or Schedules constitutes an admission of any liability or obligation of any member of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group or any of their respective Affiliates to any third party, nor, with respect to any third party, an admission against the interests of any member of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group or any of their respective Affiliates. The inclusion of any item or liability or category of item or liability on any Exhibit or Schedule is made solely for purposes of allocating potential liabilities among the Parties and shall not be deemed as or construed to be an admission that any such liability exists.

The Parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.18 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 9.20 Tax Treatment of Payments. Unless otherwise required by a Final Determination, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and all other applicable Tax purposes, any payment made pursuant to this Agreement (other than any payment of interest pursuant to Section 9.11) shall be treated in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 9.21 No Waiver. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Ancillary Agreements shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 9.22 No Admission of Liability. The allocation of Assets and Liabilities herein (including on the Schedules hereto) is solely for the purpose of allocating such Assets and Liabilities between Resideo and ADI SpinCo and is not intended as an admission of liability or responsibility for any alleged Liabilities vis-à-vis any third party, including with respect to the Liabilities of any non-wholly owned subsidiary of Resideo or ADI SpinCo.

Section 9.23 Advisors. It is acknowledged and agreed by each of the Parties that Resideo, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Resideo Group, has retained each of the Persons identified on Schedule 9.23 to act as counsel or an advisor in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that the Persons listed on Schedule 9.23 have not acted as counsel or advisor for ADI SpinCo or any other member of the ADI Group in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that none of ADI SpinCo or any member of the ADI Group has the status of a client of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.23 for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof. ADI SpinCo hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the ADI Group that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby between Resideo and ADI SpinCo or any of the members of their respective Groups, each of the Persons listed on Schedule 9.23 may represent any or all of the members of the Resideo Group in such dispute even though the interests of the Resideo Group may be directly adverse to those of the ADI Group. ADI SpinCo further agrees, on behalf of itself and each other member of the ADI Group that, with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Internal Reorganization, the Contribution, the Distribution and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to Resideo or the applicable member of the Resideo Group and may be controlled by Resideo or such member of the Resideo Group and shall not pass to or be claimed by ADI SpinCo or any member of the ADI Group.

(b) The directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock voting separately pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock), shall be elected by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon at each annual meeting of the stockholders. From the effective date of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation until the election of the directors at the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors of the Corporation shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. If the number of directors has changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class. The initial assignment of directors to each such class shall be made by the Board of Directors. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the Class I directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2030 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2030 annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the Class I directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2028 annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the Class II directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2031 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2031 annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the Class II directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders. At the 2029 annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the Class III directors shall be elected for a term expiring at the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders. Each director in each such class shall hold office until his or her respective successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Commencing with the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders, each director shall be elected annually and shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her respective successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. Pursuant to such procedures, commencing with the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors will no longer be classified under Section 141(d) of the DGCL and directors shall no longer be divided into three classes. The election of directors need not be by written ballot.

SECTION 2. Advance notice of nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the By-laws of the Corporation.

SECTION 3. (a) Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock (including any Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock), newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or other cause shall only be filled by the Board of Directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, or if not so filled, by the stockholders at the next annual meeting thereof. Any director elected in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 3 shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the class such director is elected to and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal.

(b) From the effective date of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation until the election of directors at the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders, any director or the entire Board of Directors may only be removed for cause, such removal to require the affirmative vote of shares representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote on the election of directors of the Corporation. From and after the 2032 annual meeting of stockholders, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed with or without cause, and, in either case, such removal shall require the affirmative vote of shares representing at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote on the election of directors of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock voting separately are entitled to elect directors of the Corporation pursuant to the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock), any such director of the Corporation so elected may be removed in accordance with this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including such Certificate of Designation).

ARTICLE VI

Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may only be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors (the entire Board of Directors being the total number of authorized directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies or unfilled previously authorized directorships) or as otherwise provided in the By-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VII

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter or amend the By-laws of the Corporation by the vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. In addition to any requirements of law and any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Corporation, voting together as a single class, shall be required for stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the By-laws of the Corporation.

ARTICLE VIII

The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are subject to this reservation.

ARTICLE IX

SECTION 1. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article IX to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically, and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

SECTION 2. To the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware as it exists or as it may hereafter be amended permits, including to the extent that such law or amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to such law or amendment, the Corporation may provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) its current and former directors, officers and agents (and any other persons to which the DGCL permits the Corporation to provide indemnification) through By-law provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, votes of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

SECTION 3. No amendment to or repeal of any Section of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article IX in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE X

SECTION 1. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any current or former stockholder (including a current or former beneficial owner) to bring (a) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (b) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim that is based upon a violation of a duty owed by any current or former director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (c) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation, or any current or former director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation, arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation (as either may be amended from time to time), (d) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim related to or involving the Corporation that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine or (e) any action, suit or proceeding asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, the federal court for the District of Delaware). To the fullest extent permitted by law, if any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Section is filed in a court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, the federal court for the District of Delaware) (a “foreign action”) by or on behalf of any current or former stockholder (including a current or former beneficial owner), such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (or the federal court for the District of Delaware, as applicable) in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder.

SECTION 2. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

SECTION 3. 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 X. Failure to enforce the foregoing provisions would cause the Corporation irreparable harm and the Corporation shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, to enforce the foregoing provisions.

ARTICLE XI

The Corporation is to have perpetual existence.

ARTICLE XII

If any provision (or any part thereof) of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any circumstance for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation 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 (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including, without limitation, each such portion of any section 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 or for the benefit of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Article II

Meetings of Stockholders

SECTION 2.1 Place of Meeting. All meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation (the “stockholders”) shall be at a place either within or outside of the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication, to be determined by the Board and as specified in the notice of meeting. In the absence of such a determination, a meeting of stockholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

SECTION 2.2 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held on such date and at such hour as shall from time to time be fixed by the Board. Any previously scheduled annual meeting of the stockholders may be postponed, rescheduled or cancelled by action of the Board taken prior to the time previously scheduled for such annual meeting of the stockholders.

SECTION 2.3 Special Meetings.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law or the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate”), and subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by (i) the Chairman of the Board, (ii) a majority of the Whole Board (as defined below), or (iii) subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3, the Secretary (as defined below) upon the written request (a “Stockholder Requested Special Meeting”) of one or more stockholders of record of the Corporation that together hold for their own account or on behalf of others, beneficial ownership of at least a 25% “net long position” of the outstanding shares of the Corporation’s common stock (the “Requisite Percent”) for at least 30 days as of the Delivery Date (as defined below). Only such business as is specified in the Corporation’s notice of any special meeting of stockholders shall come before such meeting; provided, that the Board shall have the authority in its discretion to submit additional matters to the stockholders and to cause other business to be transacted pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting for any Stockholder Requested Special Meeting.

For purposes of determining the Requisite Percent, “net long position” shall be determined with respect to each requesting stockholder in accordance with the definition thereof set forth in Rule 14e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); provided, that (x) for purposes of such definition, (1) “the date that a tender offer is first publicly announced or otherwise made known by the bidder to the stockholders of the security to be acquired” shall be the date of the relevant Special Meeting Request (as defined below), (2) the “highest tender offer price or stated amount of the consideration offered for the subject security” shall refer to the closing sales price of the Corporation’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or such other securities exchange designated by the Board if the Corporation’s common stock is not listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange) on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, the next succeeding trading day), (3) the “person whose securities are the subject of the offer” shall refer to the Corporation, and (4) a “subject security” shall refer to the outstanding common stock of the Corporation; and (y) the “net long position” of such stockholder shall be reduced by the number of shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the Board determines that such stockholder does not, or will not, have the right to vote or direct the vote at the special meeting or as to which the Board determines that such stockholder has entered into any derivative or other agreement, arrangement or understanding that hedges or transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such shares.

Whether the requesting stockholders have complied with the requirements of this Section 2.3 shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

(b) In order for a Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to be called, one or more requests for a special meeting (each, a “Special Meeting Request,” and collectively, the “Special Meeting Requests”) must be signed by the Requisite Percent of stockholders submitting such request and by each of the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made and must be delivered to the Secretary. The Special Meeting Request(s) shall be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Each Special Meeting Request shall (i) set forth a statement of the specific purpose(s) of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at such meeting, (ii) bear the date of signature of each such stockholder signing the Special Meeting Request, (iii) set forth (1) the name and address, as they appear in the Corporation’s books, of each stockholder signing such request and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, and (2) the class, if applicable, and the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock that are owned of record and beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by each such stockholder and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf such request is made, (iv) include documentary evidence that the stockholders requesting the special meeting own the Requisite Percent as of the date that the Special Meeting Request is delivered to the Secretary (the “Delivery Date”); provided, that if the stockholders of record submitting the Special Meeting Request are not the beneficial owners of the shares constituting all or part of the Requisite Percent, then to be valid, the Special Meeting Request must also include documentary evidence (or, if not simultaneously provided with the Special Meeting Request, such documentary evidence must be delivered to the Secretary within 10 days after the Delivery Date) that the beneficial owners on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is made beneficially own such shares as of the Delivery Date, (v) an agreement by each of the stockholders requesting the special meeting and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the Special Meeting Request is being made to notify the Corporation promptly in the event of any decrease in the “net long position” held by such stockholder or beneficial owner following the delivery of such Special Meeting Request and prior to the special meeting and an acknowledgement that any such decrease shall be deemed to be a revocation of such Special Meeting Request by such stockholder or beneficial owner to the extent of such reduction, (vi) contain all of the information required by (A) Section 2.7(c) if the purpose of the Special Meeting Request relates to any business other than nominations for election of directors and (B) Section 3.3 if the purpose of the Special Meeting Request relates to nominations for election of directors, including, in each case, with respect to each requesting stockholder. The Corporation will provide the requesting stockholders with notice of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting. Each requesting stockholder is required to update the notice delivered pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) not later than 10 business days after such record date to provide any material changes in the foregoing information as of such record date and, with respect to the information required under clause (iv) above, also as of a date not more than five business days before the scheduled date of the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting. Any requesting stockholder may revoke his, her or its Special Meeting Request at any time prior to the special meeting by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. If at any time after such revocation (whether by specific written revocation by the stockholder or pursuant to clause (v) of this Section 2.3(b)) there are unrevoked valid Special Meeting Requests representing in the aggregate less than the Requisite Percent, then the requesting stockholder(s) or beneficial owner(s) shall be deemed to have withdrawn such request (in connection with which the Board may cancel the meeting).

In determining whether a special meeting of stockholders has been requested by stockholders holding in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percent, multiple Special Meeting Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the special meeting (in each case as determined in good faith by the Board), and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have been delivered to the Secretary within 60 days of the earliest dated Special Meeting Request.

(c) Except as provided in the next sentence, any special meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place (or remotely), and at such time as the Board shall fix; provided, however, that the date of any such Stockholder Requested Special Meeting shall be not more than 90 days after the Delivery Date. The Board may postpone or reschedule any such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting of stockholders if (i) the Board calls an annual meeting of stockholders, or a special meeting of stockholders at which a Similar Item (as defined below) is to be presented pursuant to the notice of such meeting, in either case to be held not later than 60 days after the Delivery Date; (ii) the Delivery Date is during the period commencing ninety 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the earlier of (1) the date of the next annual meeting and (2) 30 days after the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting; or (iii) the Special Meeting Request(s) (1) contain an identical or substantially similar item (as determined in good faith by the Board, a “Similar Item”) to an item that was presented at any meeting of stockholders held not more than 120 days before the Delivery Date (and for purposes of this clause (c), the election of directors shall be deemed a Similar Item with respect to all items of business involving the election or removal of directors); (2) relate to an item of business that is not a proper subject for action by the stockholders under applicable law and this Section 2.3; (3) were made in a manner that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or other applicable law; or (4) do not comply with the provisions of this Section 2.3.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.3, if none of the stockholders who submitted a Special Meeting Request appears at or sends a duly authorized representative to the Stockholder Requested Special Meeting to present the matters submitted by such stockholders for consideration and that were specified in the Special Meeting Request, the Corporation need not present such matters for a vote at such meeting.

SECTION 2.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, notice, including by electronic transmission in the manner provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given by the Corporation not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state the place (or, if applicable, that the meeting will be held remotely), the date and the hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given to any stockholder who shall attend such meeting in person or by proxy without protesting, prior to or at the commencement of the meeting, the lack of proper notice to such stockholder, or who shall waive notice thereof as provided in Article X of these By-laws. Notice of adjournment of a meeting of the stockholders need not be given if the time and place, if any, to which it is adjourned are announced at such meeting, unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days or, after adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting.

SECTION 2.5 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders; provided, however, that in the case of any vote to be taken by classes or series, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of any such class or series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum of such class or series. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum.

SECTION 2.6 Adjournments. The chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and who are present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time whether or not a quorum is present. In the event that a quorum does not exist with respect to any vote to be taken by a particular class or series, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or series who are present in person or by proxy may adjourn the meeting with respect to the vote(s) to be taken by such class or series. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

SECTION 2.7 Order of Business.

(a) At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, such person as shall be selected by the Board, shall act as chairman of the meeting. The order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

(b) At any annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business (other than nominations for election of directors, which are governed by Sections 3.3 and 3.15) shall be conducted as shall have been brought before the annual meeting (i) by or at the direction of the chairman of the meeting or (ii) by any stockholder who is a holder of record at the time of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 (such business, “Stockholder Business”). This Section 2.7 is the exclusive means by which a stockholder may bring such business before a meeting of stockholders.

(c) For business (other than nominations for election of directors, which are governed by Sections 3.3 and 3.15) properly to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof (a “Notice of Business”) in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation (the “Secretary”). To be timely, a Notice of Business must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting as first specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (without regard to any postponements or adjournments of such meeting after such notice was first sent); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, a Notice of Business to be timely must be so delivered or received not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made; provided, further, that for the purpose of calculating the timeliness of a Notice of Business for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting shall be deemed to be June 3, 2026. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement, or an adjournment or postponement, of a meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper written form, the Notice of Business must set forth:

(i) the name and address of each stockholder proposing to bring business before the annual meeting (each, a “Proponent”), as they appear on the Corporation’s books;

(ii) the name and address of each Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below);

(iii) as to each Proponent and each Stockholder Associated Person, (A) the class or series and number of shares of stock directly or indirectly held of record and beneficially by such Proponent and Stockholder Associated Person, (B) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding, direct or indirect, with respect to the business to be brought before the annual meeting, between or among any Proponent and any Stockholder Associated Person, or between or among any Proponent and/or Stockholder Associated Person, on the one hand, and any other person or entity on the other hand, (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into, directly or indirectly by, or on behalf of, any Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, any Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation (a “Derivative”), (D) a description in reasonable detail of any proxy (including revocable proxies), contract, arrangement, understanding or other relationship pursuant to which any Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of stock of the Corporation and (E) any profit-sharing or any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that any Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to, based on any increase or decrease in the value of stock of the Corporation or Derivatives thereof, if any. The information specified in Section 2.7(c)(i) to (iii) of this Article II is referred to herein as “Stockholder Information”;

(iv) a representation that each Proponent is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to propose such proposed business;

(v) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and, if such business includes a proposal to amend the By-laws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

(vi) any material interest of any Proponent and any Stockholder Associated Person in such proposed business;

(vii) a representation as to whether the Proponent(s) intend (A) to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt such Stockholder Business or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such Stockholder Business;

(d) In addition, each Proponent shall affirm as true and correct the information provided to the Corporation in the Notice of Business or at the Corporation’s request pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(ix) of this Article II (and shall update or supplement such information as needed so that such information shall be true and correct) as of (i) the record date for the meeting and (ii) the date that is 10 business days prior to the announced date of the annual meeting to which the Notice of Business relates. Such affirmation, update and/or supplement must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by no later than five business days after the applicable date specified in clause (i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence.

(e) The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting, that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7, and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

A “qualified representative” of the Proponent or any stockholder means a person who is a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or has been authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy with respect to the specific matter to be considered at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction (to the reasonable satisfaction of the person presiding over the meeting) of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders prior to the taking of action by such person on behalf of the stockholder.

SECTION 2.9 Voting.

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 by the Board.

(c) Except as otherwise required by law and except as otherwise provided in the Certificate, these By-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, at each meeting of the stockholders, all corporate actions to be taken by vote of the stockholders shall be authorized by holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon and who are present in person or represented by proxy, and where a separate vote by class or series is required, by holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or series who are entitled to vote thereon and are present in person or represented by proxy shall be the act of such class or series.

Article III

Board of Directors

SECTION 3.1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation (or grant authority to exercise such powers) and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by law or by the Certificate directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

SECTION 3.2 Number, Qualification and Election.

(a) The number of directors constituting the Whole Board shall be determined in accordance with the Certificate. The term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directors, whether or not there exist any vacancies or unfilled previously authorized directorships. The terms of office of directors shall be governed by the Certificate.

(b) Each director shall be at least 21 years of age. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation. No person shall qualify for service as a director of the Corporation (i) if he or she is a party to any compensatory, payment, indemnification or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any such compensation or other payment from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation, unless he or she discloses such compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding, or receipt of any such compensation or other payment, to the Corporation pursuant to the requirements and procedures set forth in Section 3.3(a)(iv) of this Article III as if such person were a Stockholder Nominee thereunder or (ii) unless such person agrees to submit upon appointment, election or re-nomination to the Board an irrevocable resignation effective upon (x) such person’s failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election and (y) the acceptance of such resignation by the Board.

(c) In any uncontested election of directors, each person receiving a majority of the votes cast shall be deemed elected. For purposes of this paragraph, a “majority of the votes cast” shall mean that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as a vote cast with respect to that director). In any contested election of directors, the persons receiving a plurality of the votes cast, up to the number of directors to be elected in such election, shall be deemed elected. A contested election is one in which, as of the date that is 14 calendar days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement with the SEC (regardless of whether or not it is thereafter revised or supplemented), the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. An uncontested election is any election that is not a contested election.

(d) With respect to a resignation provided pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii), the Board shall consider such resignation and may either (i) accept the resignation or (ii) reject the resignation and seek to address the underlying cause(s) of the majority-withheld vote. While the Board may delegate to a committee the authority to assist the Board in its review of the matter, the Board shall decide whether to accept or reject the resignation within 90 days following the certification of the stockholder vote. Once the Board makes this decision, the Corporation will promptly make a public announcement of the Board’s decision in the manner described in Section 2.11 or pursuant to a filing made with the SEC. If the Board rejects the resignation, the public announcement will include a statement regarding the reasons for its decision.

(e) The chairman of the nominating and governance committee established pursuant to Section 4.1 will have the authority to manage the Board’s review of the resignation. In the event it is the chairman of the nominating and governance committee who received a majority-withheld vote, the independent directors who did not receive majority-withheld votes shall select a director or group of directors to manage the process, and such director or directors shall have the authority otherwise delegated to the chairman of the nominating and governance committee by this Section 3.2. Any director whose resignation is being considered as a result of a majority-withheld vote shall not participate in the committee’s or the Board’s deliberations or vote on whether to accept or reject his or her resignation; provided that any director, regardless of whether such director received a majority-withheld vote, may participate in such deliberations or vote regarding another director’s resignation.

SECTION 3.3 Notification of Nominations.

(a) Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board or by any stockholder pursuant to (i) this Section 3.3 who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice of nomination provided for in this Section 3.3 and who is entitled to vote for the election of directors or (ii) Section 3.15. This Section 3.3 and Section 3.15 are the exclusive means by which a stockholder may nominate a person for election to the Board. Any stockholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors at a meeting may nominate persons for election as directors only if timely written notice (a “Notice of Nomination”) of such stockholder’s intent to make such nomination is given in proper written form to the Secretary. To be timely, a Notice of Nomination must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of the stockholders, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting as first specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (without regard to any postponements or adjournments of such meeting after such notice was first sent); provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier or more than 60 days later than such anniversary date, a Notice of Nomination to be timely must be so delivered or received not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made; provided, further, that for the purpose of calculating the timeliness of stockholder notices for the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders, the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting shall be deemed to be June 3, 2026 and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors, not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement, or an adjournment or postponement, of a meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. To be in proper written form, the Notice of Nomination shall set forth:

(i) the Stockholder Information with respect to each stockholder nominating persons for election to the Board (each, a “Nominating Stockholder”) and each Stockholder Associated Person;

(ii) a representation that each Nominating Stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination;

(iii) all information regarding each Nominating Stockholder, each nominee (each, a “Stockholder Nominee”) and each Stockholder Associated Person that would be required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act;

(iv) (A) each Stockholder Nominee’s written consent to being named in any proxy materials as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (B) a completed and duly executed written questionnaire completed and signed by each Stockholder Nominee with respect to the background, qualifications and independence of such Stockholder Nominee (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request); (C) a completed and duly executed written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification with respect to such Nominating Stockholder and any other person or entity on whose behalf, directly or indirectly, the nomination is being made (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request); and (D) each Stockholder Nominee’s written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request), (i) that if elected as a director of the Corporation, such person will submit an irrevocable resignation effective upon (x) such person’s failure to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election and (y) the acceptance of such resignation by the Board, (ii) that such person currently intends to serve as a director for the full term for which such person is standing for election, (iii) that such person is not and will not become party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (iv) that such person is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement, or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement, or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, and (v) that in the person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Corporation, and any other Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to Corporation directors;

(v) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among a Stockholder Nominee, Nominating Stockholder, Stockholder Associated Person or others acting in concert therewith, including all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K (or any such successor rule) if such Stockholder Nominee, Nominating Stockholder, Stockholder Associated Person or any person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the Stockholder Nominee were a director or executive of such registrant;

(vi) a duly executed representation as to whether the Nominating Stockholder(s) intend (A) to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the nomination or (B) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such nomination;

(vii) all other information that would be required to be filed with the SEC if the Nominating Stockholder(s) and Stockholder Associated Person were participants in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act (or any such successor section); and

(viii) a duly executed representation that each Nominating Stockholder shall provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.

(b) In addition, each Nominating Stockholder shall affirm as true and correct the information provided to the Corporation in the Notice of Nomination or, at the Corporation’s request, such information provided pursuant to Section 3.3(a) (viii) of this Article III (and shall update or supplement such information as needed so that such information shall be true and correct) as of (i) the record date for the meeting and (ii) the date that is 10 business days prior to the announced date of the meeting to which the Notice of Nomination relates. Such affirmation, update and/or supplement must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by no later than five business days after the applicable date specified in clause (i) and (ii) of the foregoing sentence. A Nominating Stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s director nominees and who has delivered a Notice of Nomination pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall promptly certify to the Corporation, and notify the Corporation in writing, that such Nominating Stockholder has complied with or will comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, and upon request of the Corporation, shall, not later than five business days prior to the date of the applicable meeting of stockholders, deliver to the Corporation reasonable evidence of such compliance.

(c) The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting, that the nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.3, and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded. Unless otherwise required by law, if any Nominating Stockholder (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act and (ii) subsequently (A) notifies the Corporation that such Nominating Stockholder no longer intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s director nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19, (B) fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19, or (C) fails to provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such requirements have been met, then such Nominating Stockholder’s nominations shall be deemed null and void and the corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for any nominee proposed by such Nominating Stockholder.

(d) If the Nominating Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the applicable stockholder meeting to nominate the Stockholder Nominees, such nomination shall be disregarded and such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

(e) Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation pursuant to any applicable provision of the Certificate or any Certificate of Designation.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.3 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board at an annual meeting of the stockholders is increased and there is no public announcement specifying the size of the increased Board made by the Corporation at least 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3.3 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate or these By-laws, a majority of the Whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board, and, except as so provided, the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting to another time and place, if any, whether or not a quorum is present. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

SECTION 3.5 Place of Meeting. Subject to Sections 3.6 and 3.7 of this Article III, the Board may hold its meetings at such place or places, if any, either within or outside of the State of Delaware, as the Board may from time to time determine, or as shall be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Notice of each special meeting of the Board shall be given by overnight delivery service or mailed to each director, in either case addressed to such director at such director’s residence or usual place of business, at least 48 hours before the day on which the meeting is to be held or shall be sent to such director at such place by telecopy or by electronic transmission or shall be given personally or by telephone, not later than 24 hours before the meeting is to be held, but notice need not be given to any director who shall, either before or after the meeting, submit a waiver of such notice or who shall attend such meeting without protesting, prior to or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director. Unless otherwise required by these By-laws, every such notice shall state the time and place, if any, but need not state the purpose of the meeting.

SECTION 3.10 Participation in Meeting by Means of Communications Equipment. Any one or more members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in any meeting of the Board or of any such committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other or as otherwise permitted by law, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

SECTION 3.11 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all of the members of the Board or of any such committee consent thereto in writing and, if required by law, the writing or writings are filed with the minutes or proceedings of the Board or of such committee.

SECTION 3.14 Compensation. Each director, in consideration of such person serving as a director, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation such amount per annum and such fees (payable in cash or stock-based compensation) for attendance at meetings of the Board or of committees of the Board, or both, and for acting as a chair of a committee of the Board, and/or any other compensation in each case as the Board or a committee thereof shall from time to time determine. In addition, each director shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation reimbursement for the reasonable expenses incurred by such person in connection with the performance of such person’s duties as a director. Nothing contained in this Section 3.14 shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

SECTION 3.15 Proxy Access.

(a) The Corporation shall include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy for an annual meeting of stockholders the name of, and the Required Information (as defined below) relating to, any nominee for election or reelection to the Board who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 3.15 (a “Proxy Access Nominee”) and who is identified in a notice that complies with Section 3.15(f) of this Article III and that is timely delivered pursuant to Section 3.15(g) of this Article III (the “Stockholder Notice”) by one stockholder, or a group of no more than twenty stockholders, who:

(i) elects at the time of delivering the Stockholder Notice to have such Proxy Access Nominee included in the Corporation’s proxy materials;

(ii) as of the date of the Stockholder Notice and the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting of stockholders, Owns (as defined below in Section 3.15(c) of this Article III) a number of shares of the Corporation that represents at least 3% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Required Shares”) and has Owned continuously the Required Shares (as adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) for at least three years; and

(iii) satisfies the additional requirements in these By-laws (such stockholder or group of stockholders, collectively, an “Eligible Stockholder”).

(b) For purposes of satisfying the Ownership requirement under Section 3.15(a) of this Article III:

(i) the outstanding shares of the Corporation Owned by a group of one or more stockholders may be aggregated (for the avoidance of doubt, the number of stockholders and other beneficial owners whose ownership of shares is aggregated for such purpose shall not exceed twenty); and

(ii) two or more funds that are (A) under common management and investment control, (B) under common management and funded primarily by the same employer, or (C) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, shall, in each case, be treated as one stockholder.

(c) For purposes of this Section 3.15, an Eligible Stockholder “Owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation as to which the stockholder or group of stockholders possesses both:

(i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares, and

(ii) the full economic interest in (including, without limitation, the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares;

provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.15(c) shall not include any shares:

(A) sold by such stockholder or any affiliate (as defined below in this Section 3.15(c)) in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, including, without limitation, any short sale;

(B) borrowed by such stockholder or any affiliate for any purposes or purchased by such stockholder or any affiliate pursuant to an agreement to resell; or

(C) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect of:

(1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such stockholder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares; and/or

(2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree gain or loss arising from the full economic interest in such shares by such stockholder or affiliate.

A stockholder “Owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A stockholder’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the stockholder. A stockholder’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has loaned such shares, provided that the stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on five business days’ notice and has recalled such loaned shares as of the date of the Stockholder Notice and through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The terms “Owned,” “Owning” and other variations of the word “Own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation are “Owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board.

For purposes of this Section 3.15, the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act.

(d) No stockholder may be a member of more than one group of stockholders constituting an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 3.15, and no shares of the Corporation may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder or group constituting an Eligible Stockholder.

(e) For purposes of this Section 3.15, the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy materials is:

(i) the information concerning the Proxy Access Nominee and the Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy materials by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder; and

(ii) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement of the Eligible Stockholder, not to exceed 500 words, in support of its Proxy Access Nominee, which must be provided at the same time as the Stockholder Notice for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials for the annual meeting of stockholders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.15, the Corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or statement that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standard. Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall limit the Corporation’s ability to solicit against a stockholder nominee and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Eligible Stockholder or Proxy Access Nominee.

(f) The Stockholder Notice shall set forth the information required under Section 3.3(a) of this Article III (replacing the term “Nominating Stockholder” with “Eligible Stockholder” and the term “Stockholder Nominee” with “Proxy Access Nominee”), including the questionnaire, agreement and other materials required by Section 3.3(a)(iv), and, in addition, shall include:

(i) a copy of the Schedule 14N that has been or concurrently is filed with the SEC under Exchange Act Rule 14a-18 (or any successor schedule or rule); and

(A) a certification as to the number of shares of the Corporation it Owns and has Owned continuously for at least three years as of the date of the Stockholder Notice and agreeing to continue to Own such shares through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders, which statement shall also be included in the written statements set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 14N (or any successor schedule) filed by the Eligible Stockholder with the SEC;

(B) the Eligible Stockholder’s agreement to provide the information required under Section 3.3(a) of this Article III and the written statements from the record holder and intermediaries as required under Section 3.15(h) of this Article III verifying the Eligible Stockholder’s continuous Ownership of the Required Shares through and as of the business day immediately preceding the date of the annual meeting of stockholders;

(C) the Eligible Stockholder’s representation and agreement that the Eligible Stockholder (including each member of any group of stockholders that together is an Eligible Stockholder under this Section 3.15):

(1) acquired the Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control of the Corporation, and does not presently have such intent;

(2) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and stockholders of the Corporation that are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(3) has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board at the annual meeting of stockholders any person other than the Proxy Access Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 3.15;

(4) has not engaged and will not engage in a, and has not been and will not be a “participant” (as defined in Item 4 of the Exchange Act Schedule 14A) (or any successor schedule) in other person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 14a-1(l) (or any successor rule), in support of the election of any individual as a director at the annual meeting of stockholders other than its Proxy Access Nominee or a nominee of the Board; and

(5) will not distribute to any stockholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting of stockholders other than the form distributed by the Corporation.

(D) the Eligible Stockholder’s agreement to:

(1) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Stockholder’s communications with the stockholders of the Corporation or out of the information that the Eligible Stockholder provided to the Corporation;

(2) indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of any nomination submitted by the Eligible Stockholder pursuant to this Section 3.15; provided, however, that the indemnification by the Eligible Stockholder under this Section 3.15(f)(ii)(D)(2) shall no longer be required or apply with respect to any acts or omissions by the Proxy Access Nominee that occur after such Proxy Access Nominee’s election to the Board;

(3) comply with all other laws, rules, regulations and listing standards applicable to any solicitation in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders;

(4) file all materials described below in Section 3.15(h)(iii) of this Article III with the SEC, regardless of whether any such filing is required under Exchange Act Regulation 14A (or any successor regulation), or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under Exchange Act Regulation 14A (or any successor regulation);

(ii) the Eligible Stockholder or Proxy Access Nominee breaches any of its respective agreements, representations or warranties set forth in the Stockholder Notice or otherwise required by this Section 3.15, or if any of the information in the Stockholder Notice (or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 3.15) was not, when provided, true, correct and complete or the requirements of this Section 3.15 have otherwise not been met;

(iii) the Proxy Access Nominee or the stockholder or group of stockholders (including any member thereof) who has nominated such Proxy Access Nominee has engaged in or is currently engaged in, or has been or is a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act, in support of the election of any individual as a director at the meeting other than such Proxy Access Nominee or a nominee of the Board;

(iv) the Proxy Access Nominee (A) is not independent under the listing standards of the principal U.S. exchange upon which the shares of the Corporation are listed, any applicable rules of the SEC and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s directors, (B) does not qualify as independent under the audit committee independence requirements set forth in the rules of the principal U.S. exchange on which shares of the Corporation are listed or as a “non-employee director” under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule), (C) is or has been, within the three years preceding the date the Corporation first mails to the stockholders its notice of the meeting that includes the Proxy Access Nominee, an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, (D) is an officer, director or general partner of any legal entity where a fellow officer, director or general partner of such legal entity is an officer or director of a competitor, as defined in Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, (E) is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in a criminal proceeding within the 10 years preceding the date the Corporation first mails to the stockholders its notice of the meeting that includes the Proxy Access Nominee, or (F) is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D (or any successor rule) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; or

(v) the election of the Proxy Access Nominee to the Board would cause the Corporation to be in violation of the Certificate, these By-laws or any applicable state or federal law, rule, regulation or listing standard.

Any such determination by the Board (or any other person or body authorized by the Board) regarding a nomination’s satisfaction of this Section 3.15(i) shall be binding on the Corporation and its stockholders.

(j) The maximum number of Proxy Access Nominees appearing in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to this Section 3.15 (including, without limitation, any Proxy Access Nominee whose name was submitted for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials for such annual meeting of stockholders but who is nominated by the Board as a Board nominee for such annual meeting of stockholders), together with:

(i) any nominees who were previously elected to the Board as (A) Proxy Access Nominees pursuant to this Section 3.15 (including, without limitation, any Proxy Access Nominee whose name was submitted for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials for such prior annual meeting of stockholders but who was nominated by the Board as a Board nominee for such prior annual meeting of stockholders) or (B) a nominee of any stockholder in any other manner, in either case at any of the preceding two annual meetings of stockholders and who are re-nominated for election at such annual meeting of stockholders by the Board, and

(ii) any Proxy Access Nominee who was qualified for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials for such annual meeting of stockholders but whose nomination is subsequently withdrawn, shall not exceed the greater of (x) two or (y) 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Stockholder Notice may be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.15 with respect to such annual meeting of stockholders, or if such amount as calculated in clause (y) of this Section 3.15(j) is not a whole number, the closest whole number below 20%; provided that if there is a vacancy on the Board and the number of directors is decreased prior to such annual meeting of stockholders, then the 20% of the number of directors shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as of the date of such decrease in the number of directors. In the event that the number of Proxy Access Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 3.15 exceeds this maximum number, each Eligible Stockholder will select one Proxy Access Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order of the number (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as Owned in its respective Stockholder Notice submitted to the Corporation. If the maximum number is not reached after each Eligible Stockholder has selected one Proxy Access Nominee, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number is reached.

(k) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.15, unless otherwise required by law or otherwise determined by the person presiding over the meeting, if none of (i) the Eligible Stockholder or (ii) a qualified representative of the Eligible Stockholder appears at the annual meeting of stockholders to present such Eligible Stockholder’s Proxy Access Nominees, such nomination or nominations shall be disregarded and conclusively deemed withdrawn, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the election of the Proxy Access Nominees may have been received by the Corporation.

(l) Any Proxy Access Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of stockholders but either (i) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting of stockholders, or (ii) does not receive at least 25% of the votes cast in favor of the Proxy Access Nominee’s election, will be ineligible to be a Proxy Access Nominee pursuant to this Section 3.15 for the next two annual meetings of stockholders.

(m) The Corporation may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Board to determine if each Proxy Access Nominee is independent under the listing standards of the principal United States exchange upon which the shares of the Corporation are listed, any applicable rules of the SEC and any publicly disclosed standards used by the Board in determining and disclosing the independence of the Corporation’s directors.

(n) This Section 3.15 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for director election in the Corporation’s proxy materials (including, without limitation, any proxy card or written ballot), other than with respect to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable with respect to form of proxies).

Article VI

Indemnification

SECTION 6.1 Right to Indemnification. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL or other applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceedings by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such person, or another person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) (a “Covered Entity”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or agent, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or agent of the Corporation or a Covered Entity; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 6.4(d) of this Article VI with respect to an adjudication of entitlement to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding was authorized by the Board. Any person entitled to indemnification as provided in this Section 6.1 is hereinafter called an “Indemnitee”. Any right of an Indemnitee to indemnification shall be a contract right and shall include the right to receive, prior to the conclusion of any Proceeding, payment of any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of the DGCL or other applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader rights to payment of expenses than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), and the other provisions of this Article VI; provided that payment of expenses incurred by a person other than a director or officer of the Corporation prior to the conclusion of any Proceeding shall be made, unless otherwise determined by the Board, only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to the same effect as any undertaking required to be delivered to the Corporation by any director or officer of the Corporation pursuant to the DGCL or other applicable law.

SECTION 6.2 Insurance, Contracts and Funding. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any Covered Entity against any expenses, liabilities or losses as specified in Section 6.1 of this Article VI or incurred by any such director, officer, employee or agent in connection with any Proceeding referred to in Section 6.1 of this Article VI, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of any Covered Entity in furtherance of the provisions of this Article VI and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided or authorized in this Article VI.

SECTION 6.3 Indemnification Not Exclusive Right. The right of indemnification provided in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled, and the provisions of this Article VI shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of any Indemnitee under this Article VI and shall be applicable to Proceedings commenced or continuing after the adoption of this Article VI, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after such adoption.

SECTION 6.4 Advancement of Expenses; Procedures; Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings; Remedies. In furtherance, but not in limitation, of the foregoing provisions, the following procedures, presumptions and remedies shall apply with respect to advancement of expenses and the right to indemnification under this Article VI:

(a) Advancement of Expenses. All reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be advanced to the Indemnitee by the Corporation within 20 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee and, if required by law or the provisions of this Article VI at the time of such advance, shall include or be accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if ultimately it should be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses pursuant to this Article VI.

(b) Procedure for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.

(i) To obtain indemnification under this Article VI, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Secretary a written request including such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification (the “Supporting Documentation”). The determination of the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification shall be made not later than 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the written request for indemnification together with the Supporting Documentation. The Secretary shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board in writing that the Indemnitee has requested indemnification.

(ii) The Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Article VI shall be determined in one of the following ways: (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined in Section 6.4(e) of this Article VI), whether or not they constitute a quorum of the Board, or by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors; (B) by a written opinion of Independent Counsel (as hereinafter defined in Section 6.4(e) of this Article VI) if there are no Disinterested Directors or a majority of such Disinterested Directors so directs; (C) by the stockholders of the Corporation; or (D) as provided in Section 6.4(c) of this Article VI.

(iii) In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(ii) of this Article VI, a majority of the Disinterested Directors shall select the Independent Counsel, but only an Independent Counsel to which the Indemnitee does not reasonably object.

(c) Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. If the person or persons empowered under Section 6.4(b) of this Article VI to determine entitlement to indemnification shall not have been appointed or shall not have made a determination within 60 days after receipt by the Corporation of the request therefor, together with the Supporting Documentation, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to be, and shall be, entitled to indemnification unless (A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. The termination of any Proceeding described in Section 6.1 of this Article VI, or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the right of the Indemnitee to indemnification or create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

(d) Remedies of Indemnitee. (i) In the event that a determination is made pursuant to Section 6.4(b) of this Article VI that the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Article VI, (A) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek an adjudication of entitlement to such indemnification either, at the Indemnitee’s sole option, in (x) an appropriate court of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction or (y) an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association and (B) any such judicial proceeding or arbitration shall be de novo and the Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of such adverse determination.

(i) If a determination shall have been made or deemed to have been made, pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or (c) of this Article VI, that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the amounts constituting such indemnification within 45 days after such determination has been made or deemed to have been made and shall be conclusively bound by such determination unless (A) the Indemnitee misrepresented or failed to disclose a material fact in making the request for indemnification or in the Supporting Documentation or (B) such indemnification is prohibited by law. In the event that (X) advancement of expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 6.4(a) of this Article VI or (Y) payment of indemnification is not made within 45 days after a determination of entitlement to indemnification has been made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 6.4(b) or (c) of this Article VI, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek judicial enforcement of the Corporation’s obligation to pay to the Indemnitee such advancement of expenses or indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation may bring an action, in an appropriate court in the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction, contesting the right of the Indemnitee to receive indemnification hereunder due to the occurrence of an event described in sub-clause (A) or (B) of this clause (ii) (a “Disqualifying Event”); provided, however, that in any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving the occurrence of such Disqualifying Event.

(ii) The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) that the procedures and presumptions of this Article VI are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article VI.

(iii) In the event that the Indemnitee, pursuant to this Section 6.4(d), seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article VI, or in the event of a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and shall be indemnified by the Corporation against, any expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitee if the Indemnitee prevails in such judicial adjudication, arbitration or suit. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication, arbitration or suit that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, the expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication, arbitration or action shall be prorated accordingly.

(e) Definitions. For purposes of this Article VI:

(i)  “Disinterested Director” means a director of the Corporation who is not or was not a party to the Proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought by the Indemnitee.

(ii) “Independent Counsel” means a law firm or a member of a law firm that neither presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (x) the Corporation or the Indemnitee in any matter material to either such party or (y) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing under the law of the State of Delaware, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Corporation or the Indemnitee in an action to determine the Indemnitee’s rights under this Article VI.

SECTION 6.5 Indemnification of Agents. Notwithstanding any other provision or provisions of this Article VI, the Corporation, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the indemnification of directors, officers and employees of the Corporation or any Covered Entity, may indemnify any person other than a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or any Covered Entity, who is or was an agent of the Corporation or a Covered Entity and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or another person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or of a Covered Entity, whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding. The Corporation may also advance expenses incurred by such employee or agent in connection with any such Proceeding, consistent with the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the advancement of expenses of directors, officers and employees of the Corporation.

Article VII

Capital Stock

SECTION 7.1 Certificates for Shares and Uncertificated Shares.

(a) The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares that may be evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such stock, or shall be represented by certificates, or a combination of both. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, such certificates whenever authorized by the Board shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board. The certificates representing shares of stock of each class shall be signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation, and sealed with the seal of the Corporation, which may be a facsimile thereof. Any or all such signatures may be facsimiles if countersigned by a transfer agent or registrar. Although any officer, transfer agent or registrar whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate has been issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were still such at the date of its issue. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, the Corporation shall send to the registered owner thereof a written notice in accordance with Section 151(f) of the DGCL.

(b) The stock ledger and blank share certificates, if any, shall be kept by the Secretary or by a transfer agent or by a registrar or by any other officer or agent designated by the Board.

Section 4. Dividends.

(a) Holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on the terms described below:

(i) Holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of Common Stock in all dividends paid on the shares of Common Stock (other than dividends paid in the form of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or Options with respect to which adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be made in accordance with this Certificate) as if immediately prior to each Common Stock Dividend Record Date, all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding were converted into shares of Common Stock. Dividends payable pursuant to this Section 4(a)(i) (the “Participating Dividends”) shall be payable on the same date that such dividends are payable to holders of shares of Common Stock, and no dividends shall be payable to holders of shares of Common Stock unless the full dividends contemplated by this Section 4(a)(i) are paid at the same time to the Holders of the Preferred Stock.

(ii) In addition to any dividends pursuant to Section 4(a)(i), dividends on each share of Preferred Stock shall accrue and accumulate on a daily basis, whether or not declared and whether or not the Corporation has funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, at the Dividend Rate multiplied by the Accumulated Amount on such share from and after the Issuance Date of such share until the redemption, conversion or other cancellation thereof (the “Preferred Dividends”). At the election of the Corporation with respect to each Preferred Dividend Payment Date, all Preferred Dividends accrued on a share of Preferred Stock since the immediately preceding Preferred Dividend Payment Date (as determined in accordance with the remaining provisions of this clause (ii) and clause (iii) below) shall either (x) if, as and when so authorized and declared by the Board of Directors, be paid in cash to the holder thereof on such Preferred Dividend Payment Date (any Preferred Dividend or portion of a Preferred Dividend paid in such manner, a “Cash Dividend”), or (y) to the extent not so paid in cash in accordance with the foregoing clause (x) automatically become Compounded Dividends and added to the Accumulated Amount for such share as of such Preferred Dividend Payment Date. The amount of Preferred Dividends accruing with respect to any share of Preferred Stock for any day shall be determined by dividing (x) the Implied Quarterly Dividend Amount as of such day by (y) the actual number of days in the Payment Period in which such day falls; provided, however, that if during any Payment Period the Dividend Rate is increased, then after the date of such increase the amount of Preferred Dividends accruing with respect to any share of Preferred Stock for any day shall be determined by dividing (x) the Implied Quarterly Dividend Amount (recalculated to take into account such increased Dividend Rate) by (y) the actual number of days in such Payment Period. The amount of Preferred Dividends payable with respect to any share of Preferred Stock for any Payment Period shall equal the sum of the daily Preferred Dividends amounts calculated in accordance with the prior sentence of this Section 4(a)(ii) with respect to such share during such Payment Period; provided, that, (i) to the extent the Issuance Date in respect of a share of Preferred Stock falls within such Payment Period, the Preferred Dividends payable in respect of such share of Preferred Stock for such Payment Period shall equal the sum of the daily Preferred Dividends calculated in accordance with the prior sentence of this Section 4(a)(ii) in respect of such share from and after the Issuance Date through the end of such Payment Period, and (ii) the amount of Preferred Dividends payable with respect to any share of Preferred Stock for any Payment Period shall be reduced by the amount of Preferred Dividends previously paid on such share of Preferred Stock in respect of such Payment Period. Preferred Dividend payments shall be aggregated per Holder and shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward).

(iii) Any election by the Corporation to pay a Cash Dividend with respect to any Payment Period shall be applied consistently to all Preferred Dividends paid to all Holders with respect to such Payment Period. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that no Preferred Dividends may be declared and paid in securities or otherwise “in kind.”

(iv) Each Participating Dividend or Preferred Dividend shall be paid pro rata to the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock entitled thereto based on the ownership of such Preferred Stock. Each Participating Dividend or Preferred Dividend shall be payable to the Holders of Preferred Stock as they appear on the Register at the close of business on the record date designated by the Board of Directors for such dividends, which (i) with respect to Participating Dividends, shall be the same day as the record date for the payment of dividends to the holders of shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Dividend Record Date”), and (ii) with respect to Preferred Dividends, shall be not more than thirty (30) days nor less than ten (10) days preceding the applicable Preferred Dividend Payment Date.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Dividend Rate shall increase to the Noncompliance Additional Rate from and including the date on which the Triggering Event shall occur and be continuing through but excluding the date on which all then occurring Triggering Events are no longer continuing. The Dividend Rate shall not be increased further pursuant to this Section 4(b) for a subsequent Triggering Event occurring while the Noncompliance Additional Rate is in effect pursuant to this Section 4(b).

(c) At any time during which a Triggering Event shall occur and be continuing, without the consent of the Holders by Majority Vote, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment, or other distributions declared or made, upon any Junior Securities, nor shall any Junior Securities be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (nor shall any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of any such Junior Securities) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 hereof, by conversion into or exchange for Junior Securities or the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection therewith) (other than repurchases of shares of Common Stock from applicable employees, officers or directors of the Corporation, in the ordinary course of business, following such employees’, officers’ and directors’ termination of employment or engagement with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries). Without limiting the foregoing, without the consent of the Holders by Majority Vote, the Corporation shall not (i) declare, pay or set aside for payment any dividends or distributions upon any Junior Securities or (ii) repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any Junior Securities (other than repurchases of shares of Common Stock from employees, officers or directors of the Corporation in the ordinary course of business) for any consideration or pay any moneys or make available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such Junior Securities, unless, in each case, the Corporation, in its good faith judgment, reasonably determines that (A) immediately before and after the taking of such action, the fair value of the Corporation’s assets would exceed the sum of its debts (including, for this purpose, the aggregate Accumulated Amount and the aggregate Interim Accrued Dividends of the Preferred Stock), (B) immediately after the taking of such action, the Corporation would be able to pay all of its debts (including, for this purpose, the aggregate Accumulated Amount and the aggregate Interim Accrued Dividends of the Preferred Stock) as they are reasonably expected to come due and (C) such action is otherwise in compliance with applicable Law.

Section 5. Liquidation Rights.

(a) In the event of any Liquidation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions out of the assets of the Corporation, before any payment or distribution of any assets of the Corporation shall be made or set apart for holders of any Junior Securities, including the Common Stock, for such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Accumulated Amount and (B) the aggregate Interim Accrued Dividends of such shares as of the date of the Liquidation and (ii) the amount such Holder would have received had such shares of Preferred Stock, immediately prior to such Liquidation, been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6, without regard to any of the limitations on conversion or convertibility contained therein; provided that, any such distributions or payments shall be made solely to the extent of funds legally available for distribution to its stockholders.

(b) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders upon a Liquidation shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 5(a), such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the Holders ratably in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled upon such Liquidation.

(c) Neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the assets, capital stock or business of the Corporation (other than in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation) nor the merger, consolidation, share exchange, statutory exchange or any other business combination transaction of the Corporation into or with any other Person shall by itself be deemed to be a Liquidation for purposes of this Section 5.

Section 6. Conversion.

(a) Conversion of Preferred Stock.

(i) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 (including in the case of clause (A), subject to the proviso to the first sentence of clause (A)), shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock as follows:

(A) If (a) at any time after the Original Issuance Date, the Common Stock Trading Price exceeds 200% of the then applicable Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (such period, the “Conversion Option Measurement Period”) and (b) the Corporation, at its option, delivers a written notice of conversion to the Holders of the Preferred Stock within 10 Business Days following the conclusion of the applicable Conversion Option Measurement Period, then each share of Preferred Stock outstanding shall be converted (the “Conversion Option”), as of the date of such notice (the “Conversion Option Date”), into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Accumulated Amount and (2) the Interim Accrued Dividends on such share as of the Conversion Option Date, divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect as of the Conversion Option Date; provided that the Corporation shall not be entitled to exercise the Conversion Option unless (x) as of the Conversion Option Date all of the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied and (y) the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) has terminated (or deemed to have terminated in respect of a portion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Shareholders Agreement) or expired in accordance with the terms set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. The election by the Corporation not to exercise the Conversion Option with respect to any Conversion Option Measurement Period shall not limit the right of the Corporation to make such an election with respect to any subsequent Conversion Option Measurement Period.

(B) Each Holder of shares of Preferred Stock shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at any time and from time to time, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of such Holder’s shares of Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock. Upon a Holder’s election to exercise its Conversion Right, each share of Preferred Stock for which the Conversion Right is exercised shall be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) equal to the quotient of (A) the sum of (1) the Accumulated Amount and (2) the Interim Accrued Dividends on such share as of the Conversion Date, divided by (B) the Conversion Price of such share in effect at the time of conversion.

(ii) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of any shares of Preferred Stock. If more than one share of Preferred Stock subject to conversion is held by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the sum of (A) the aggregate Accumulated Amount and (B) the aggregate Interim Accrued Dividends as of the Conversion Date on all shares of Preferred Stock so subject. If the conversion of any share or shares of Preferred Stock results in a fractional share of Common Stock issuable after application of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall pay a cash amount in lieu of issuing such fractional share in an amount equal to the amount of such fractional interest multiplied by the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date.

(iii) The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of the Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. The Corporation shall take all action permitted by Law, including calling meetings of stockholders of the Corporation and soliciting proxies for any necessary vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, if at any time there shall be insufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to permit such reservation. The Corporation covenants that the Preferred Stock and all Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Preferred Stock shall upon issuance be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to preemptive rights or subscription rights of any other stockholder of the Corporation. The Corporation further covenants that the Corporation shall, at its sole expense, cause to be authorized for listing or quotation on an Acceptable Exchange, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, subject to official notice of issuance. The Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Common Stock may be issued without violation of any applicable Law.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) If the Corporation exercises the Conversion Option and delivers notice thereof in accordance with Section 6(a)(i)(A), the Corporation shall promptly following the Conversion Option Date update or cause to be updated the Register, effective as of the Conversion Option Date, to reflect the shares of Common Stock held by such Holders as a result of the Conversion Option and shall comply with clause (b) of Common Stock Liquidity Conditions.

(ii) The Conversion Right of a Holder of Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)(B) shall be exercised by such Holder by delivering written notice to the Corporation that such Holder elects to convert all or a portion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder (a “Conversion Notice”) and specifying the name or names (with address or addresses) in which shares of Common Stock are to be issued and (if so required by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation or the transfer agent, as applicable, duly executed by such Holder or its legal representative. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of the Conversion Notice, and the payment of required taxes or duties pursuant to Section 14(a), if applicable, and in no event later than three Trading Days thereafter, the Corporation shall update or cause to be updated the Register to reflect the shares of Common Stock held by such Holder as a result of such conversion and shall issue and shall deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to such Holder, or to such other Person on such Holder’s written order (A) evidence of such issuance reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, and (B) cash for any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion settled as provided in Section 6(a)(ii).

(iii) The conversion of any share of Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been made (i) in connection with any Conversion Option, at the close of business on the Conversion Option Date, and (ii) in connection with any exercise of the Conversion Right, at the close of business on the date of giving the Conversion Notice or, if later, the payment of required taxes or duties pursuant to Section 14(a), if applicable (the “Conversion Date”). Until the Conversion Date with respect to any share of Preferred Stock has occurred, such share of Preferred Stock will remain outstanding and will be entitled to all of the powers, designations, preferences and other rights provided herein, including that such share shall (A) accrue and accumulate Preferred Dividends and participate in Participating Dividends pursuant to Section 4 and (B) entitle the applicable Holder thereof to the voting rights provided in Section 11; provided, however, that any such shares that are redeemed pursuant to Section 10 shall not be entitled to be converted.

(c) Corporation’s Obligations to Issue Common Stock. Subject to Section 6(a)(i)(A) and the compliance with the terms and conditions of this Certificate applicable to the conversion of Preferred Stock, the Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by any Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by any Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of Law by any Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to any Holder in connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock.

Section 7. Reorganization Events.

(a) Treatment of Preferred Stock Upon a Reorganization Event. Subject to applicable Law and Section 7(f), upon the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, (i) if the Corporation is the surviving company in such Reorganization Event, each share of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall remain outstanding following such Reorganization Event (or be exchanged for an equivalent share of another class or series of preferred stock having rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions substantially identical to those set forth herein); provided, that (x) each share of Preferred Stock or any such replacement preferred stock as applicable shall become convertible into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that the applicable Holder of such share of Preferred Stock (other than the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an Affiliate of such other party) would have received in such Reorganization Event had such share of Preferred Stock, immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, been converted into the applicable number of shares of Common Stock using the Conversion Price immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property”), without interest on such Exchange Property, and (y) appropriate adjustments shall be made to the conversion provisions set forth in Section 6 and the adjustment to conversion price provisions set forth in Section 9 and the other provisions of this Certificate as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors to place the Holders (whether with respect to the Preferred Stock or any such replacement preferred stock as applicable) in as nearly as equal of a position as possible with respect to such matters following such Reorganization Event as compared to immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, or (ii) if the Corporation is not the surviving company in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, each share of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall be converted or exchanged into a security of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing parent entity in such Reorganization Event having rights, powers and preferences, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as nearly equal as possible to those provided herein (with such adjustments as are appropriate to place the Holders in as nearly as equal of a position as possible following such Reorganization Event as compared to immediately prior to such Reorganization Event).

(b) Form of Consideration. In the event that shares of Preferred Stock become convertible into Exchange Property in connection with a Reorganization Event and the holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Reorganization Event, the Exchange Property shall be based on the types and amounts of consideration available for election by the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the same election on as nearly equal as possible terms applicable to the Common Stock; provided, however, that, to the extent the applicable transaction agreement provides for adjustments or limitations to such elected types and amounts of consideration that are generally applicable to holders of Common Stock making such elections, the Exchange Property will be subject to such adjustments and limitations.

(c) Successive Reorganization Events. The provisions of this Section 7 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

(d) Notice of Reorganization Events. The Corporation (or any successor) shall, no later than 10 days following the execution of definitive agreements in respect of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice thereof to the Holders and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property, and any available election with respect to the Exchange Property that may be made. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 7 except to the extent such failure prejudices the Holders.

(e) Requirements of Reorganization Events. The Corporation shall not, without consent of the Holders acting by Majority Vote, enter into any agreement for, or consummate, any transaction or series of transactions constituting a Reorganization Event unless (i) such agreement provides for or does not interfere with or prevent (as applicable) conversion of the Preferred Stock into the Exchange Property in a manner that is consistent with and gives effect to this Section 7, (ii) to the extent that the Corporation is not the surviving company in such Reorganization Event or will be dissolved in connection with such Reorganization Event, proper provision shall be made in the agreements governing such Reorganization Event for the conversion of the Preferred Stock into a security of the Person surviving such Reorganization Event or such other continuing entity in such Reorganization Event, (iii) if the primary Exchange Property in any Reorganization Event consists of securities, such Exchange Property (and only such Exchange Property) shall be listed (or, as applicable, be convertible into securities listed) on an Acceptable Exchange and (iv) the issuer(s) of the Preferred Stock or any replacement preferred stock contemplated by Section 7(a) of this Certificate owns after such Reorganization Event, directly or indirectly, a substantial portion of the assets of the Corporation immediately preceding such Reorganization Event (and, if applicable, immediately preceding the first of the series of related transactions that included the Reorganization Event) (the “Pre-Reorg Assets”) and cash or other consideration in lieu thereof with respect to the Pre-Reorg Assets not so owned thereof.

(f) Partial Tender Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, to the extent the Reorganization Event is structured as a tender offer that is for less than for all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock then outstanding, the Holders shall not be entitled to receive cash as Exchange Property in respect of the Preferred Stock held thereby and instead such Preferred Stock will continue to remain outstanding as if such Reorganization Event had not occurred, provided, that, if such tender offer constitutes a Change of Control and the Corporation has elected to effect a Change of Control Redemption by delivering a COC Redemption Notice to the Holders in accordance with Section 10, nothing herein shall preclude the Holders from receiving cash in respect of their Preferred Stock as part of the Change of Control Redemption; provided, further, that any Holder may elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 at any time prior to the consummation of such Reorganization Event and receive cash in such tender offer in respect of the shares of Common Stock then held by such Holder following such conversion.

(g) Change of Control. For the sake of clarity, if a Reorganization Event constitutes a Change of Control and the Corporation has delivered a COC Redemption Notice, then Section 10(b) shall take precedence over this Section 7 to the extent there is any inconsistency between such sections.

Section 8. [Reserved].

Section 9. Adjustments to Conversion Price.

(a) Adjustments to Conversion Price. Except as provided in Section 9(d), the Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments:

(i) Stock Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation declares a dividend or makes a distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price at the opening of business on such Ex-Date by the following fraction:

OS₀
OS₁

where,

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.

OS₁ = the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution.

If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 9(a)(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date and time the Board of Directors determines not to make such dividend or distribution, to such Conversion Price that would exist had such adjustment not been made.

(ii) Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Common Stock. If the Corporation subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination by the following fraction:

OS₀
OS₁

where,

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.

OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.

If the Conversion Price is adjusted in connection with any subdivision, split or combination described in this Section 9(a)(ii) but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are, for any reason, not subdivided, split or combined, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to subdivide, split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to such Conversion Price that would exist had such adjustment not been made.

(iii) Other Distributions.

(A) If the Corporation distributes to all holders of shares of Common Stock any Convertible Securities or Options or any other assets for which there is no corresponding distribution in respect of the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) (other than pursuant to (x) a “spin-off”, whereupon the Conversion Price will be equitably adjusted to allocate the economic value associated with the Preferred Stock as between the Corporation and the entity that is “spun-off”, or (y) a rights plan which is subject to Section 9(a)(v) below), then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution shall be adjusted to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution by the following fraction:

SP₀ – FMV
SP₀

where,

SP₀ = the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the date immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution.

FMV = the fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on the Ex-Date for such distribution, in the case of a non-cash distribution or with respect to the non-cash portion of a distribution, if any, as determined (i) by the good faith determination of the Board of Directors or (ii) if, within five Business Days following notice from the Corporation of the value determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to clause (i), the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock object in good faith to such determination, then the fair market value will be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) is reasonably acceptable to the Holders acting by Majority Vote; provided, that such value, whether determined pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), shall not for the purposes hereof in any event be equal to or greater than the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on such date.

In the event that such distribution described in this Section 9(a)(iii) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(iv) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. If the Corporation effects a Pro Rata Repurchase of Common Stock that involves the payment by the Corporation of consideration per share of Common Stock that exceeds the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase; provided that if part or all of the consideration is not cash, the fair market value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) been consented to by the Holders by Majority Vote, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase shall be adjusted (such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase) by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase by the following fraction:

(OS₀ x SP₀) – AC
SP₀ x OS₁

Where,

SP₀ = the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the first public announcement of the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase.

OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase, including, if applicable, any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn or exchanged shares.

OS₁= the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Date of such Pro Rata Repurchase, including, if applicable, any shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn, minus the number of shares purchased in such Pro Rata Repurchase (which shares shall equal the Purchased Shares (as defined below) if such Pro Rata Repurchase is effected pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer).

AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in such Pro Rata Repurchase, and in the case of non-cash consideration, as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm that has for this purpose (x) been selected by the Board of Directors, and (y) been consented to by Holders by Majority Vote, based, in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer, on the number of shares actually accepted for purchase (the “Purchased Shares”).

In the event that the Conversion Price is adjusted in connection with any Pro Rata Repurchase described in this Section 9(a)(iv) and such Pro Rata Repurchase is not, for any reason, consummated, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines such Pro Rata Repurchase, to such Conversion Price that would exist had such adjustment not been made.

In the event that the Corporation, or one of its Affiliates, is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such Pro Rata Repurchase, but the Corporation, or such Affiliate, is permanently prevented by applicable Law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such Pro Rata Repurchase had not been made.

(v) Rights Plans. To the extent that the Corporation has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on any Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Holders will receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to such Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock, in which case (and only in such case) the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation had issued the rights to all holders of the Common Stock in an issuance triggering an adjustment pursuant to Section 9(a)(iii), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(b) Other Adjustments.

(i) The Corporation may make decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to any other decreases required by this Section 9, if the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or issuance of Options for Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(ii) If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Stock, other than an action described in Section 9(a), which upon a determination by the Board of Directors, in its good faith discretion (such determination intended to be a “fact” for purposes of Section 151(a) of the DGCL), would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the Holders of shares of Preferred Stock, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted, to the extent permitted by Law, in such manner, if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors determines in good faith to be equitable in the circumstances.

(c) Successive Adjustments. Successive adjustments in the Conversion Price shall be made, without duplication, whenever any event specified in Section 9(a) or Section 9(b) shall occur.

(d) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 9(d) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further that on any Conversion Date adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account before such date.

(e) Statement Regarding Adjustments; Notices. Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with one or more of Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), the Corporation shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), taking into account the one cent threshold set forth in Section 9(d); (ii) (x) in the event that the Corporation shall give notice or make a public announcement to the holders of Common Stock of any action of the type described in Section 9(a) (but only if the action of the type described in Section 9(a) would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered upon conversion of the Preferred Stock), the Corporation shall, at the time of such notice or announcement, and in the case of any action which would require the fixing of a record date, at least ten (10) days prior to such record date, give notice to each Holder by mail, first class postage prepaid, at the address appearing in the Register, which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect to any such action, the approximate date on which such action is to take place and the facts with respect to such action as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect on the Conversion Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property which shall be deliverable upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Stock or (y) in the event that the Corporation does not give notice or make a public announcement as set forth in subclause (x) of this clause (ii), the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to one or more of Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), taking into account the one cent threshold set forth in Section 9(d) (or if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event, in the same manner and with the same detail as the notice set forth in subclause (x) of this clause (ii); and (iii) whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to one or more of Section 9(a) or Section 9(b), the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price, (x) file at the principal office of the Corporation, a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment, the Conversion Price that shall be in effect after such adjustment and the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and (y) cause a copy of such statement to be sent in the manner set forth in subclause (x) of clause (ii) to each Holder.

(f) Certain Adjustment Rules. If an adjustment in the Conversion Price made hereunder would reduce the Conversion Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment in Conversion Price made hereunder shall reduce the Conversion Price to the par value of the Common Stock. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, NYSE (or such exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed) or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Corporation may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in compliance with the applicable listing standards of NYSE (or such exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed).

Section 10. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the final further proviso to this Section 10(a)) the Corporation shall have the right, at its option, at any time following June 14, 2027, to redeem (i) all or (ii) any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption price per share in cash (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to two times (2x) the sum of (A) the Accumulated Amount and (B) the Interim Accrued Dividends of each such share of Preferred Stock as of the date of such redemption; provided, that any Interim Accrued Dividends that have accrued since the most recent Preferred Dividend Payment Date shall instead be calculated at one times (1x) (not 2X) the amount of such current period Interim Accrued Dividends; provided, further, that any redemption under this Section 10 for less than all of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding must redeem sufficient shares of Preferred Stock such that the redemption will be treated as a payment in exchange for stock pursuant to Section 302(b) of the Code for United States federal income tax purposes (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any equity interests held in the Corporation by the Investor) and must not result in the Investor’s Beneficial Ownership of the Common Stock (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis) falling below three percent (3%) of the Common Stock then outstanding as of the Redemption Date (on an as-converted to Common Stock basis); provided, further, that the Corporation shall not be entitled to exercise its option to redeem pursuant to this Section 10(a) unless (x) as of the Optional Redemption Date all of the Common Stock Liquidity Conditions are satisfied and (y) the Lock-Up Period (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) has terminated (or deemed to have terminated in respect of a portion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms set forth in the Shareholders Agreement) or expired in accordance with the terms set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. The Corporation may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 10 by sending a written notice to each Holder of Preferred Stock (the “Optional Redemption Notice”) specifying (x) the date on which the redemption shall occur (the “Optional Redemption Date”), which shall be a Business Day that is no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date the Redemption Notice is sent and (y) the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock which are being redeemed pursuant to such redemption and the aggregate and per-share purchase price therefor. If fewer than all of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section 10(a), then such redemption shall occur on a pro rata basis with respect to all Holders of Preferred Stock based on the total number of shares of Preferred Stock then held by such Holder relative to the total number of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(b) Redemption in Connection with a Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the Corporation (or its successor in the Change of Control, or an Affiliate thereof) shall have the option, exercisable during the period beginning on the effective date of the Change of Control (the “Change of Control Effective Date”) and ending on the date that is 20 Business Days after the Change of Control Effective Date, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding at a purchase price per share, payable in cash (the “COC Redemption Price” and together with the Optional Redemption Price, each (as applicable) the “Redemption Price”), equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the sum of (A) the Accumulated Amount and (B) the Interim Accrued Dividends of each such share of Preferred Stock as of the date of such purchase (a “Change of Control Redemption”); provided, that any Interim Accrued Dividends that have accrued since the most recent Preferred Dividend Payment Date shall instead be calculated at 100% (not 150%) of the amount of such current period Interim Accrued Dividends. In order to exercise the Change of Control Redemption, the Corporation shall deliver written notice (a “COC Redemption Notice” and together with an Optional Redemption Notice, a “Redemption Notice”) to the Holders specifying that the Change of Control Redemption is being exercised, the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be acquired in connection therewith, the aggregate and per share purchase price therefor and the date which such redemption shall occur (the “COC Redemption Date” and together with the Optional Redemption Date, each (as applicable) a “Redemption Date”) on the Change of Control Effective Date; provided, further, that, as a condition to the Corporation’s exercise of its redemption option pursuant to this Section 10(b), the Corporation must provide written notice of the Change of Control to each Holder within 10 days following the execution of the definitive agreements with respect to such Change of Control.

(c)  Effectiveness of Redemption. Redemption pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(b) shall become effective on the applicable Redemption Date and the aggregate Redemption Price for such redeemed shares shall be due and payable in cash to the record Holder of the shares of Preferred Stock being redeemed on such date. From and after the applicable Redemption Date, dividends and distributions will cease to accrue on such redeemed shares of Preferred Stock, such redeemed shares of Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the Holders with respect to such redeemed shares of Preferred Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the aggregate Redemption Price for such redeemed shares of Preferred Stock held by each such Holder.

(d) Information. During the period between the delivery of the Optional Redemption Notice and the Optional Redemption Date, if requested by any Holder, the Corporation shall provide reasonable access to the books and records of the Corporation, and provide a reasonable opportunity for such Holder to meet with the executive officers of the Corporation for the purpose of assisting such Holder in evaluating whether to convert the Preferred Stock into Common Stock in lieu of the redemption of such Preferred Stock; provided that in no event shall the Corporation be required to provide any information that would cause such information to no longer be subject to the attorney-client privilege (or a similar privilege) or where disclosure is prohibited by Law, but if any such disclosure is so limited, the Corporation shall cooperate with such Holder to determine a reasonable manner to allow for prompt disclosure of such information to such Holder.

(e) Contingencies. Any Redemption Notice or Conversion Notice may be delivered subject to contingencies set forth therein (which may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the actual consummation of a Change of Control) and may be revoked if any such contingencies are not satisfied or as otherwise set forth therein.

(f) Partial Redemption. If a portion, but less than all, of the shares of Preferred Stock held by any Holder are purchased in accordance with this Section 10 on any particular Redemption Date, the Corporation shall promptly thereafter reflect in the Register the remaining shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder. Such shares of Preferred Stock shall remain subject to the terms of this Certificate, including with respect to the Corporation’s right to redeem such shares (including in connection with a subsequent Change of Control). The election of the Corporation not to redeem the Preferred Stock at any time or in connection with any Change of Control shall not limit the Corporations right to exercise a future redemption in accordance with the terms of this Certificate.

(g) Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, each Holder of shares of Preferred Stock to be redeemed by the Corporation may elect to convert all or any portion of the shares of Preferred Stock held by such Holder into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 (taking into account any contingencies contemplated by Section 10(e)) at any time prior to the Redemption Date, which election, for the avoidance of doubt, may be made subject to the same or similar contingencies to which any such redemption by the Corporation is made subject. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any such conversion is being effected in connection with, or as part of a Change of Control or any redemption by the Corporation in accordance with this Section 10 is otherwise made conditional on another event or happening (or the absence of any event or happening), any Holder may condition such conversion on the effectiveness of such Change of Control (or such earlier time as the consideration payable to holders of Common Stock in respect of such Change of Control is determined) or such other event or happening (or the absence of such event or happening), in which case such conversion shall be deemed effective as of immediately prior to any such redemption of such shares.

Section 11. Voting Rights.

The Holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote with the holders of the Common Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided herein or as required by applicable Law, voting together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. For such purposes, each Holder shall be entitled to a number of votes in respect of the shares of Preferred Stock owned of record by it equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote on such matters or, if no such record date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent of stockholders is solicited.

(vi) adopt any plan of Liquidation or file any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, receivership or any similar proceeding.

(c) The consent or votes required in Section 11(b) shall be in addition to any approval of stockholders of the Corporation which may be required by Law or pursuant to any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the By-laws. Each Holder of shares of Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote separately as a class, whether at a meeting or by written consent.

Section 12. Board Designation and Other Rights.

(a) From and after the Original Issuance Date, and for as long as the Preferred Stock and Common Stock that is owned by the CD&R Shareholder Parties represents (i) at least ten percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, determined on an As-Converted Common Stock basis, the CD&R Shareholder shall be entitled to designate two (2) persons, who shall be Partners, Managing Directors, Advisors or Principals of the CD&R Shareholder, CD&R or any CD&R Affiliate and reasonably acceptable to the Corporation at the time of such designation, to serve on the Board of Directors (such individuals who are so reasonably acceptable to the Corporation, the “CD&R Designees” and each a “CD&R Designee”), it being understood and agreed that, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, a CD&R Designee shall not be an individual that is (or will) be concurrently a member of the Board of Directors and the board of directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc., and (ii) at least five percent (5%) (but less than the 10% contemplated in the foregoing clause (i)) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, determined on an As-Converted Common Stock basis, the CD&R Shareholder shall be entitled to designate one (1) CD&R Designee; provided, that, for purposes of calculating the percentage As-Converted Common Stock ownership for this Section 12, any Exempted Securities issued pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (5) of the definition thereof shall be excluded and deemed not outstanding. At such time that the CD&R Shareholder is no longer entitled to designate one or both CD&R Designees pursuant to the previous sentence, the CD&R Shareholder shall promptly cause one or both CD&R Designees, as applicable, to offer to resign from the Board of Directors. The CD&R Designees shall initially be Nathan Sleeper and William Galvin, each of whom has been determined to be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation.

The CD&R Shareholder Parties will cause each CD&R Designee to make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews and to consent to such reference and background checks or other investigations and provide such information as the Board of Directors may reasonably request to determine the CD&R Designee’s eligibility and qualification to serve as a director of the Board of Directors and otherwise comply with the corporate governance or other guidelines and director onboarding and membership requirements of the Corporation that are generally applicable to all directors thereof.

(b) From and after the Original Issuance Date, subject to Section 12(a) of this Certificate, the Corporation shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause the CD&R Designees to be nominated as members of the Board of Directors and shall, subject to applicable Law and the exercise of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors, include in any proxy statement prepared, used, delivered or publicly filed by the Corporation to solicit the vote of its stockholders in connection with any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation the recommendation of the Board of Directors that stockholders of the Corporation vote in favor of the CD&R Designees and solicit votes in favor of the election of the CD&R Designees to the Board of Directors consistent with the Corporation’s efforts to solicit votes in favor of the election of the Corporation’s other nominees to the Board of Directors.

(c) For so long as a CD&R Designee is serving on the Board of Directors, (i) the Corporation shall not implement or maintain any trading policy, equity ownership guidelines (including with respect to the use of Rule 10b5-1 plans and preclearance or notification to the Corporation of any trades in the Corporation’s securities) or similar guideline or policy with respect to the trading of securities of the Corporation that applies to any CD&R Shareholder Party (including a policy that limits, prohibits or restricts any CD&R Shareholder Party from entering into any hedging or derivative arrangements), in each case other than with respect to any CD&R Person or CD&R Designee solely in his or her individual capacity, except as provided herein, (ii) any share ownership requirement for any CD&R Designee serving on the Board of Directors will be deemed satisfied by the securities owned by any CD&R Shareholder Party and under no circumstances shall any of such policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines impose any restrictions on any CD&R Shareholder Party’s transfers of securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise, subject to compliance with applicable securities Laws, (iii) under no circumstances shall any policy, procedure, code, rule, standard or guideline applicable to the Board of Directors be violated by any CD&R Designee receiving compensation from any CD&R Shareholder Party and (iv) no CD&R Designee shall be excluded or required to recuse himself or herself from any meetings or materials of the Board of Directors as a result of or in connection with his or her affiliation with the CD&R Group or the CD&R Group’s ownership of any Preferred Stock or Common Stock except in connection with a transaction with, or dispute involving, the CD&R Shareholder or any other member of the CD&R Group, and, in each case of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), it is agreed that any such policies in effect from time to time that purport to impose terms inconsistent with this Section 12 shall not apply to the extent inconsistent with this Section 12 (but shall otherwise be applicable to the CD&R Designee).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and subject to any express agreement that may from time to time be in effect, including the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Shareholders Agreement, to the extent in compliance with applicable Law, the Corporation agrees that any CD&R Designee, any member of the CD&R Group and any CD&R Affiliate or any portfolio company thereof (collectively, “Covered Persons”) may, and none of the foregoing shall have any duty not to, (i) invest in, carry on and conduct, whether directly, or as a partner in any partnership, or as a joint venturer in any joint venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, equityholder or investor in any person, or as a participant in any syndicate, pool, trust or association, any business of any kind, nature or description, whether or not such business is competitive with or in the same or similar lines of business as the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) do business with any client, customer, vendor or lessor of any of the Corporation or its Affiliates, and/or (iii) make investments in any kind of property in which the Corporation may make investments.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any potential transaction or matter of which the Covered Person acquires knowledge and waives any claim against each Covered Person that such Covered Person is liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Covered Person (A) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity for its own account or the account of any Affiliate or other person, (B) directs, recommends, sells, assigns or otherwise transfers such corporate opportunity to another person or (C) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation, in each case, except for any corporate opportunity which is expressly offered to a Covered Person in his or her capacity as a member of the Board of Directors, it being understood that any such corporate opportunity shall belong to the Corporation.

(e) The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the repurchase, redemption, conversion and cancellation of the Preferred Stock; provided that from and after the time that no shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, this Section 12 may be amended, modified or waived with the prior written consent of CD&R. Each of the CD&R Shareholder, the CD&R Shareholder Parties, the CD&R Designees and the other Covered Persons are express third party beneficiaries of the applicable portions of this Section 12 referencing such Persons.

Section 13. Transfers and Transfer Agent. The Corporation shall appoint a transfer agent of recognized standing with respect to the Preferred Stock (which may be the same transfer agent with respect to the Common Stock) and may remove such transfer agent in accordance with the agreement between the Corporation and such transfer agent; provided that the Corporation shall appoint a successor transfer agent of recognized standing who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal. Upon any such removal or appointment, the Corporation shall send notice to the Holders. When a Holder requests to register the transfer of shares of Preferred Stock, provided that such transfer is not in violation of the Transfer Restrictions, the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent, as applicable, shall register the transfer as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met. Any transfer made not in compliance with the forgoing shall be disregarded and deemed void.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

(a) Taxes. The issuance or delivery of shares of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Preferred Stock pursuant hereto, or certificates representing such shares or securities, shall be made without charge to the Holder for such shares or certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, including any share transfer, documentary, stamp or similar tax; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities were issued, delivered or registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the applicable Holder thereof, and the transferee or payee, as the case may be, shall pay or bear the cost of any such tax, and the Corporation shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, that such tax has been paid or is not payable. Without limiting Section 3.2(b) of the Shareholders Agreement, all payments and distributions (or deemed distributions) on the shares of Preferred Stock (and any share of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any share of Preferred Stock) shall be subject to withholding and backup withholding of taxes to the extent required by applicable Law, subject to applicable exemptions, and amounts withheld, if any, shall be treated as received by the Holders.

(b) Good Faith. The Corporation shall not, by amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation or through reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, sale of assets, or otherwise, take any action the primary purpose of which is to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Certificate.

(c) Status of Shares. Shares of Preferred Stock which have been converted, redeemed, repurchased or otherwise cancelled shall be retired and, following the filing of any certificate required by the DGCL, have the status of authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series until such shares are once more, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 11, designated as part of a particular series of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.2 Transfers of Employees and Independent Contractors Generally.

(a) Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, through and until immediately before the Effective Time, Resideo shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the employment of any ADI SpinCo Employee and the contract of services of any ADI SpinCo Independent Contractor to be transferred to a member of the ADI Group no later than the Effective Time, and (ii) cause the employment of any Resideo Employee who is employed by a member of the ADI Group and the contract of services between any independent contractor or consultant that does not qualify as an ADI SpinCo Independent Contractor and a member of the ADI Group to be transferred to a member of the Resideo Group no later than the Effective Time.

(b) Resideo shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each Automatic Transfer Employee to be employed by a member of the ADI Group no later than the Effective Time in accordance with applicable Law, or as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, if applicable, and ADI SpinCo agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the ADI SpinCo Employees to be so employed. If an Automatic Transfer Employee objects to the transfer of employment to a member of the ADI Group as permitted under applicable Law and consequently does not become an employee of the ADI Group and is terminated by Resideo as a result, then ADI SpinCo shall reimburse Resideo in accordance with Section 2.3(c) for any severance or termination costs incurred by Resideo in connection with such termination of employment.

(c) ADI SpinCo shall make a qualifying offer of employment to each Non-Automatic Transfer Employee who is not already employed by a member of the ADI Group prior to the Effective Time to become employed by a member of the ADI Group effective as of no later than the Effective Time, or as of the applicable Delayed Transfer Date, if applicable; provided that (i) if ADI SpinCo fails to make such a qualifying offer of employment to a Non-Automatic Transfer Employee or (ii) such Non-Automatic Transfer Employee does not accept such qualifying offer of employment, and in each case such Non-Automatic Transfer Employee does not become employed by ADI SpinCo and is terminated by Resideo as a result, then ADI SpinCo shall reimburse Resideo in accordance with Section 2.3(c) for any severance or termination costs incurred by Resideo in connection with such termination of employment.

(d) The Resideo Group and ADI Group agree to execute, and to seek to have the applicable ADI SpinCo Employees execute, such documentation, if any, as may be necessary to reflect the transfer of employment described in this Section 2.2.

(d) Notwithstanding that a Delayed Transfer ADI SpinCo Employee or Delayed Transfer Resideo Employee shall not become employed by a member of the ADI Group or Resideo Group, respectively, until the Delayed Transfer Date applicable to such employee, (i) ADI SpinCo or Resideo shall be responsible for, and shall timely reimburse (for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Section 2.3(c)) the other for, all Liabilities incurred by Resideo or ADI SpinCo, respectively, with regard to each such Delayed Transfer ADI SpinCo Employee or Delayed Transfer Resideo Employee from the Effective Time to the Delayed Transfer Date applicable to such employee, and (ii) the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to effect the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the compensation and benefits of such Delayed Transfer ADI SpinCo Employees and Delayed Transfer Resideo Employees following the Delayed Transfer Date applicable to such employee, it being understood that it may not be possible to replicate the effect of such provisions under such circumstances. As the context requires, with respect to Delayed Transfer ADI SpinCo Employees and Delayed Transfer Resideo Employees, references throughout this Agreement to the “Effective Time” or the “Distribution Date” shall be deemed to refer to the applicable Delayed Transfer Date.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, ADI SpinCo shall, or shall cause one or more members of the ADI Group to, accept, assume (or, as applicable, retain) and perform, discharge, fulfill and satisfy all Liabilities that have been accepted, assumed or retained under this Agreement irrespective of whether accruals for such Liabilities have been transferred to ADI SpinCo or a member of the ADI Group or included on a combined balance sheet of the ADI Business or whether any such accruals are sufficient to cover such Liabilities.

(f) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Tax Law (as determined by Resideo in its sole discretion), each of Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Group to, treat for all U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes any Liabilities of Resideo that are Assumed or otherwise accepted or assumed by ADI SpinCo (whether such Liabilities are Assumed, accepted or assumed by ADI SpinCo directly or treated as Assumed, accepted or assumed by ADI SpinCo as a result of a transfer by Resideo to ADI SpinCo of equity interests in an entity treated as a “disregarded entity” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4(a) of the Tax Matters Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.3(f), all references to Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall include a reference to any member of the Resideo Group and the ADI Group that is, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, disregarded as separate from Resideo and ADI SpinCo, respectively.

Section 2.4 Participation in Benefit Plans. Except as provided in this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, effective no later than the Distribution Date, (a) ADI SpinCo and each member of the ADI Group, to the extent applicable, shall cease to be a participating company in any Resideo Benefit Plan, and (b) each ADI SpinCo Employee (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) shall cease to participate in, be covered by, accrue benefits under, be eligible to contribute to or have any rights under any Resideo Benefit Plan (except to the extent of previously accrued obligations that remain a Liability of any member of the Resideo Group pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise provided under ERISA). Effective as of the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall, or shall cause one of the members of the ADI Group to, retain, pay, perform, fulfill and discharge all Liabilities arising out of or relating to all ADI SpinCo Benefit Plans.

Section 2.5 Service Recognition.

(a) Except as provided in Article IV of this Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement, from and after the Effective Time (or, if later, from and after the Delayed Transfer Date), service of ADI SpinCo Employees and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers with any member of the ADI Group or any other employer, as applicable, other than any member of the Resideo Group following the Effective Time, shall not be taken into account for any purpose under any Resideo Benefit Plan.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, and in addition to any applicable obligations under the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law, ADI SpinCo shall, and shall cause each member of the ADI Group to, give each ADI SpinCo Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting, and determination of level of benefits under any ADI SpinCo Benefit Plan for such ADI SpinCo Employee’s prior service with any member of the Resideo Group or ADI Group or any predecessor thereto, to the same extent such service was recognized by the relevant members of the Resideo Group or the applicable Resideo Benefit Plan prior to the later of the Effective Time (or if later, the Delayed Transfer Date) and the date such employee ceases participating in the applicable Resideo Benefit Plan in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement; provided that such service shall only be recognized to the extent such ADI SpinCo Employee becomes employed by the ADI Group as of the Distribution Date or the Delayed Transfer Date, as applicable; provided, further, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that it would result in the duplication of benefits.

(c) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, as soon as administratively practicable on or after the Distribution Date: (i) ADI SpinCo shall waive or cause to be waived all limitations as to preexisting conditions or waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each ADI SpinCo Employee (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under any ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan in which ADI SpinCo Employees participate (or are eligible to participate) to the same extent that such conditions and waiting periods were satisfied or waived under an analogous Resideo Welfare Plan, and (ii) ADI SpinCo shall provide or cause each ADI SpinCo Employee (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) to be provided with credit for any co-payments, deductibles or other out-of-pocket amounts paid during the plan year in which the ADI SpinCo Employees (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) become eligible to participate in the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans in satisfying any applicable co-payments, deductibles or other out-of-pocket requirements under any such plans for such plan year.

Section 2.6 Collective Bargaining Agreements.

(a) All provisions contained in this Agreement providing for the treatment of compensation and benefits in connection with the Distribution shall apply equally to any employee who is covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement, except to the extent that any such Collective Bargaining Agreement specifically provides for the compensation or benefits contemplated by such provision and, in each such case, such Collective Bargaining Agreement shall apply rather than the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to alter the provisions of any Collective Bargaining Agreement or modify in any way the obligations of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group to any Employee Representative or any other Person as described in such agreement.

(b) As of the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo shall, and shall cause the members of the ADI Group as appropriate to, adopt and assume any Collective Bargaining Agreements covering any of the ADI SpinCo Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to any agreed upon changes required by the transition of such Collective Bargaining Agreements to ADI SpinCo or applicable Law, and recognize the Employee Representatives that are party to such Collective Bargaining Agreements; provided, that any compensation or benefits that were, prior to the Distribution, provided to ADI SpinCo Employees under any such Collective Bargaining Agreements through Resideo Benefit Plans shall, to the extent such compensation and benefits are still required to be provided under such Collective Bargaining Agreements on and after the Distribution, be provided as mutually agreed with such Employee Representative through the ADI SpinCo Benefit Plans as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Information and Consultation. The Parties shall comply with all requirements and obligations to inform, consult or otherwise notify any ADI SpinCo or Resideo Employees or Employee Representatives in relation to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Separation Agreement, whether required pursuant to any Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Transfer Regulations or other applicable Law.

Section 2.8 WARN. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the transactions contemplated by or undertaken by this Agreement is intended to nor shall any transactions contemplated by or undertaken by this Agreement constitute or give rise to an “employment loss” or employment separation within the meaning of the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, or any other federal, state, or local law or legal requirement addressing mass employment separations.

Section 2.9 Individual Agreements.

(a) Assignment by Resideo. Resideo hereby assigns, or causes an applicable member of the Resideo Group to assign, to ADI SpinCo or an appropriate member of the ADI Group, all Individual Agreements, with such assignment effective no later than the Effective Time; provided, however, that, to the extent that assignment of any such Individual Agreement is not permitted by the terms of such agreement or by applicable Law, effective as no later than the Effective Time, each member of the ADI Group shall be considered to be a successor to each member of the Resideo Group for purposes of, and a third-party beneficiary with respect to, such Individual Agreement (“Non-Assignable Individual Agreement”), such that each member of the ADI Group shall enjoy all the rights and benefits of the applicable member of the Resideo Group under such agreement (including rights and benefits as a third-party beneficiary), and to the extent that no member of the ADI Group is recognized as a successor or third-party beneficiary to an Individual Agreement for which any member of the ADI Group seeks enforcement, then Resideo shall take such lawful and reasonable actions as reasonably requested by ADI to enforce or cooperate in the enforcement of a Non-Assignable Individual Agreement at the sole cost and expense of ADI; provided, further, that in no event shall Resideo be permitted to enforce any restrictive covenants contained in any Individual Agreement against an ADI SpinCo Employee for action taken in such individual’s capacity as an ADI SpinCo Employee.

(b) Assumption by ADI SpinCo. Effective no later than the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo hereby assumes and honors, or causes an appropriate member of the ADI Group to assume and honor, each Individual Agreement, including any rights, benefits, Liabilities and obligations thereunder of the applicable member of the Resideo Group. ADI SpinCo shall reimburse Resideo in accordance with Section 2.3(c) for any costs and Liabilities borne by any member of the Resideo Group under any Non-Assignable Individual Agreement.

(c) Further Actions. Solely to the extent required in order to cause the assignment and assumption of Individual Agreements as contemplated by this Section 2.9 to be effective, Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall, or shall cause a member of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group, as applicable, to take all actions reasonably necessary to effectuate such assignment and assumption.

Section 2.10 Payroll Services. Except as may otherwise be provided in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement, prior to, on and after the Distribution Date, the members of the ADI Group shall be solely responsible for providing payroll services to the ADI SpinCo Employees and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers.

Section 2.11 No Change in Control. The Parties hereto agree that none of the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement constitute a “change in control,” “change of control” or similar term, as applicable, within the meaning of any Resideo Benefit Plan or ADI SpinCo Benefit Plan; provided, that, the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall constitute a “Divestiture” as such term is defined in the Resideo Technologies, Inc. Severance Plan for Designated Officers and any comparable ADI SpinCo severance plan. Accordingly, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the proviso in the preceding sentence), no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create any right, or accelerate vesting or entitlement, to any compensation or benefit whatsoever on the part of any ADI SpinCo Employee or Resideo Employee or other former, current or future employee of the Resideo Group or ADI Group under any Benefit Plan of the Resideo Group or ADI Group.

ARTICLE III

CERTAIN BENEFIT PLAN PROVISIONS

Section 3.1 Health and Welfare Benefit Plans.

(a) Effective as of the Distribution Date or such later date as agreed to between Resideo and ADI SpinCo in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement (such applicable date, the “ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date”), (i) ADI SpinCo shall or shall cause a member of the ADI Group to have in effect ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans providing health and welfare benefits for the benefit of each ADI SpinCo Employee (and their dependents and beneficiaries) with terms that are substantially similar to those provided to the applicable ADI SpinCo Employee (and their dependents and beneficiaries) immediately prior to the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date; and (ii) each ADI SpinCo Employee (and their dependents and beneficiaries) shall cease active participation in the corresponding Resideo Welfare Plan. For purposes of this Section 3.1, the term “ADI SpinCo Employees” shall be deemed to include any Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider who was receiving welfare benefits in connection with the termination of his or her employment from a member of the Resideo Group or the ADI Group as of the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Resideo determines that the aforementioned provision of welfare benefits by the ADI Group to a Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider is not feasible, such Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider may continue active participation in the corresponding Resideo Welfare Plan after the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date, and ADI SpinCo shall reimburse Resideo for any Liabilities associated with such Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider after the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date.

(b) (i) Resideo shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the applicable Resideo Welfare Plan for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, incurred by ADI SpinCo Employees and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) under such Benefit Plans prior to the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date, and (ii) the members of the ADI Group shall retain all Liabilities in accordance with the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans for all reimbursement claims (such as medical and dental claims) and for all non-reimbursement claims (such as life insurance claims), in each case, incurred by ADI SpinCo Employees and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers (and each of their respective dependents and beneficiaries) on or after the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date; provided, that ADI SpinCo shall reimburse Resideo in accordance with the Transition Services Agreement for Liabilities incurred under clause (i) between the Distribution Date and the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date. For purposes of this Section 3.1(b), a benefit claim shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) health, dental, vision, employee assistance program and prescription drug benefits (including in respect of any hospital confinement), upon provision of such services, materials or supplies; and (ii) life, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance benefits, upon the death, cessation of employment or other event giving rise to such benefits.

(c) Effective as of no later than the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date, ADI SpinCo shall, or shall cause the members of the ADI Group to, establish a cafeteria plan that shall provide premium payment and health and dependent care flexible spending account (“FSA”) benefits to ADI SpinCo Employees on and after the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date (collectively, the “ADI SpinCo Cafeteria Plan”). The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that (i) the elections made by each ADI SpinCo Employee with respect to Resideo Welfare Plans (including FSAs) under a Resideo cafeteria plan will, in the absence of an affirmative special mid-year election (which, for clarity, the Distribution shall not constitute an event permitting a mid-year election change under the ADI SpinCo Cafeteria Plan), transfer to the ADI SpinCo Cafeteria Plan with respect to corresponding ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans (including FSAs), and (ii) any FSA balances of ADI SpinCo Employees (whether positive or negative) (the “Transferred Account Balances”) under a Resideo cafeteria plan are transferred as soon as practicable after the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date, from the Resideo FSAs to the ADI SpinCo FSAs. The FSA components of the ADI SpinCo Cafeteria Plan shall assume responsibility as of the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date for all outstanding health or dependent care claims under the corresponding Resideo FSAs of each ADI SpinCo Employee as of the first day of the year in which the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date occurs and ADI SpinCo shall assume and agree to perform, discharge, fulfill and satisfy the obligations of the corresponding Resideo FSAs from and after the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date (including, without limitation, the obligation to provide reimbursement for eligible claims incurred prior to the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date). Subject to Section 2.3(c), as soon as practicable after the applicable ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan Effective Date, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the amount of the Transferred Account Balances is determined or such later date as mutually agreed upon by the Parties, Resideo shall pay ADI SpinCo the net aggregate amount of the Transferred Account Balances, if such amount is positive, and ADI SpinCo shall pay Resideo the net aggregate amount of the Transferred Account Balances, if such amount is negative. Without limiting the generality of Section 6.7, Resideo and ADI SpinCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in administering any Resideo FSAs and health savings accounts in connection with the Distribution in accordance with the terms of the applicable Resideo Benefit Plan, including by exchanging any necessary participant records and engaging recordkeepers, administrators, providers, insurers and other third parties.

Section 3.2 401(k) Plans.

(a) (i) Effective as of the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall cause a member of the ADI Group to have in effect one or more defined contribution savings plans and related trusts that satisfy the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code in which each ADI SpinCo Employee who participated in the Resideo 401(k) Plan immediately prior thereto shall be eligible to participate (the “ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan”), with terms that are substantially similar to those provided by the Resideo 401(k) Plan immediately prior to the Distribution Date, (ii) the participation of each ADI SpinCo Employee who is a participant in the Resideo 401(k) Plan shall automatically cease effective immediately prior to the Distribution Date (or if later, as of the individual’s Delayed Transfer Date), (iii) as soon as practicable after the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan becomes effective, Resideo shall cause the accounts (including any outstanding participant loan balances) in the Resideo 401(k) Plan attributable to ADI SpinCo Employees and all plan assets of the Resideo 401(k) Plan related thereto to be transferred in cash, or in-kind (as determined by the Resideo Investment Committee) to the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan, and subject to such transfer, the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan shall assume and be solely responsible for and shall perform, discharge, fulfill and satisfy all Liabilities for or relating to ADI SpinCo Employees under the Resideo 401(k) Plan and (iv) effective as of the Distribution Date, the ADI Group shall be responsible for all ongoing rights of or relating to ADI SpinCo Employees for future participation in the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan.

(b) Without limitation or duplication of Section 3.2(a)(i), each ADI SpinCo Employee who participates in the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan will be eligible to receive a matching contribution for the 2026 plan year under the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan, subject to terms and conditions that are similar to those applicable to matching contributions under the Resideo 401(k) Plan (including vesting schedule and condition to remain employed through the last payday of the 2026 plan year). Subject to applicable Law, the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan shall provide that the amount of each eligible ADI SpinCo Employee’s matching contribution under the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan for the 2026 plan year shall be at least equal to the same matching contribution to which such ADI SpinCo Employee would be entitled under the Resideo 401(k) Plan had such ADI SpinCo Employee remained employed with the Resideo Group through the last payday in 2026 (without regard to any requirement to remain employed with the Resideo Group through such date), taking into account for each such ADI SpinCo Employee both (x) eligible compensation paid and contributions made to the Resideo 401(k) Plan between January 1, 2026 and the Distribution Date, and (y) eligible compensation paid and contributions made to the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan between the Distribution Date and December 31, 2026. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, the full cost attributable to the matching contributions under the ADI SpinCo 401(k) Plan described in this Section 3.2(b) shall be for the account of ADI SpinCo, and Resideo shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse ADI SpinCo for any portion of such cost.

(c) Other than with respect to ADI SpinCo Employees as provided in Section 3.2(a), Resideo shall retain all accounts and all Assets and Liabilities relating to the Resideo 401(k) Plan, including in respect of each Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider.

Section 3.3 U.S. Defined Benefit Pension Plans. Resideo shall retain sponsorship of the Resideo Pension Plan and all Assets and Liabilities arising out of or relating to the Resideo Pension Plan.

Section 3.4 Deferred Compensation Arrangements.

(a) Resideo shall retain all Liabilities under the Resideo Deferred Compensation Plans in respect of all benefits accrued thereunder for all participants and their respective beneficiaries, and shall retain all of the Assets related thereto (including any Assets relating to corporate-owned life insurance policies). Effective as of the Distribution Date, each ADI SpinCo Employee who is a participant in any of the Resideo Deferred Compensation Plans shall cease to have any additional compensation contributed or deferred thereunder. From and after the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall or shall cause a member of the ADI Group to provide notice to Resideo within five (5) days following the date on which any ADI SpinCo Employee with an accrued benefit under any of the Resideo Deferred Compensation Plans incurs a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) from the ADI Group. Resideo shall have the sole responsibility for the administration of the Resideo Deferred Compensation Plans and the payment of benefits thereunder to Resideo Employees, ADI SpinCo Employees, Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers or Other Service Providers, and no member of the ADI Group shall have any Liability or responsibility therefor (other than with respect to the obligation to provide notice in accordance with the preceding sentence).

(b) Resideo shall retain all Liabilities in respect of the Resideo Employee DSU Awards. Each Resideo Employee DSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Resideo CHCMC in connection with the Distribution and shall continue to be denominated in shares of Resideo Common Stock and be subject to the same terms and conditions (including settlement terms) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Resideo Employee DSU Award prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall or shall cause a member of the ADI Group to provide notice to Resideo within five (5) days following the date on which any ADI SpinCo Employee who holds a Resideo Employee DSU Award incurs a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) from the ADI Group. From and after the Effective Time, Resideo shall have the sole responsibility for the administration of the Resideo Employee DSU Awards and the payment of benefits thereunder with respect to, and no member of the ADI Group shall have any Liability or responsibility therefor (other than with respect to the obligation to provide notice in accordance with the preceding sentence).

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.5, Resideo shall retain all Liabilities under the Resideo Director Deferred Compensation Plan in respect of all benefits accrued thereunder for all participants and their respective beneficiaries, and shall retain all of the Assets related thereto (including any Assets relating to corporate-owned life insurance policies). Effective as of the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall or shall cause a member of the ADI Group to have in effect a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for the benefit of each ADI SpinCo Non-Employee Director with terms that are substantially similar to those provided in the Resideo Director Deferred Compensation Plan. Each Resideo Director DSU Award subject to the Resideo Director Deferred Compensation Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted, as of the Effective Time, into a Resideo Director DSU Award and ADI SpinCo Director DSU Award in accordance with and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.5.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement shall not in and of itself result in a separation of service triggering the payment of benefits under any of the Resideo Deferred Compensation Plans, the Resideo Director Deferred Compensation Plan (including the settlement of Resideo Director DSU Awards (or ADI SpinCo Director DSU Awards converted therefrom)) or the Resideo Employee DSU Awards.

Section 3.5 Non-U.S. Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than as set forth in this Section 3.5, the treatment of each Resideo Benefit Plan and ADI SpinCo Benefit Plan that is maintained primarily in respect of individuals who are located outside of the United States (together, the “Non-U.S. Plans”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument; provided that if the treatment of any such Non-U.S. Plan is not specifically covered by such Conveyancing and Assumption Instrument, then unless otherwise agreed upon by the Parties, (a) ADI SpinCo shall assume and fully perform, pay, discharge, and satisfy all obligations of the Non-U.S. Plans relating to ADI SpinCo Employees, ADI SpinCo Independent Contractors and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers, whenever incurred, (b) Resideo shall assume and fully perform, pay, discharge, and satisfy all obligations of the Non-U.S. Plans relating to Resideo Employees and Other Service Providers, whenever incurred, and (c) Resideo shall determine in its sole discretion the extent to which any Assets held in respect of such Non-U.S. Plans shall be transferred to ADI SpinCo.

Section 3.6 Chargeback of Certain Costs. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit Resideo’s ability to charge back any Liabilities that it incurs in respect of any Resideo Benefit Plan to any of its operating companies in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practices.

ARTICLE IV

EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARDS

Section 4.1 Treatment of Resideo Stock Options. Each Resideo Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether held by a current or former Resideo Employee or Other Service Provider or a current ADI SpinCo Employee or Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider or Other Service Provider, shall generally remain subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to such Resideo Option (including the term, exercisability and vesting schedule, if any), immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time:

(a) the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to such Resideo Option shall be equal to the quotient, rounded down to the nearest whole share, of (i) the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to such Resideo Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Resideo Adjustment Ratio; and

(b) the per share exercise price of such Resideo Option shall be equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest cent, of (i) the per share exercise price of such Resideo Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, times (ii) the Resideo Adjustment Ratio.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.1, the exercise price, the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to each Resideo Option following the Effective Time, and the terms and conditions of exercise of each such Resideo Option shall be determined in a manner that is not inconsistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and in all events subject to Section 4.7(a). In addition, the Distribution shall not in and of itself result in a separation of service of any ADI SpinCo Employee, triggering the commencement of the post-termination exercise period of a Resideo Option, which will instead commence upon a termination of employment from the ADI Group.

Section 4.2 Treatment of Unvested Resideo Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. Each Resideo Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by an ADI SpinCo Employee or an ADI SpinCo Transferred Non-Employee Director shall be converted into an award of unvested restricted stock units of ADI SpinCo and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Resideo Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit prior to the Effective Time (each, an “ADI SpinCo Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit”). After the Effective Time, the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock underlying each ADI SpinCo Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock that were issuable upon the vesting of such Resideo Time-Based Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the ADI SpinCo Conversion Ratio, with each discrete grant rounded up to the nearest whole share, subject to Section 4.7(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the Effective Time, the ADI SpinCo Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit will remain subject to the same vesting conditions as in effect prior to the Distribution, except that the relevant service for the purposes of fulfilling such vesting conditions will be service to the ADI Group immediately following the Distribution.

Section 4.3 Treatment of Resideo Director Unvested Deferred RSU Awards. Each Resideo Director Unvested Deferred RSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by an ADI SpinCo Transferred Non-Employee Director shall be converted into an award of deferred unvested restricted stock units of ADI SpinCo and shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.3, be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting schedule, deferral schedule and permissible payment events) after the Effective Time as were applicable to such Resideo Director Unvested Deferred RSU Award prior to the Effective Time (each, an “ADI SpinCo Unvested Deferred RSU Award”). After the Effective Time, the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock underlying each ADI SpinCo Unvested Deferred RSU Award shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock that were issuable upon the vesting of such Resideo Director Unvested Deferred RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the ADI SpinCo Conversion Ratio, with each discrete grant rounded up to the nearest whole share, subject to Section 4.7(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the Effective Time, the ADI SpinCo Unvested Deferred RSU Awards will remain subject to the same vesting conditions and payment timing rules as in effect prior to the Distribution, except that (x) the relevant service for the purposes of fulfilling such vesting conditions will be service to the ADI Group immediately following the Distribution, and (y) the relevant service recipient for the purposes of determining whether an ADI SpinCo Transferred Non-Employee Director with an ADI SpinCo Unvested Deferred RSU Award incurs a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A of the Code) shall be the ADI Group.

Section 4.4 Treatment of Unvested Resideo Performance Stock Units.

(a) Each Resideo Performance Stock Unit that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by an ADI SpinCo Employee shall automatically be converted into an award of unvested time-based and/or performance-based restricted stock units of ADI SpinCo (each, an “ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award”) after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.4. For purposes of this Section 4.4, any Resideo Performance Stock Units that are outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by an ADI SpinCo Employee (i) that were granted in 2024 are hereinafter referred to as the “2024 PSUs”; (ii) that were granted in 2025 are hereinafter referred to as the “2025 PSUs”; and (iii) that were granted in 2026 are hereinafter referred to as the “2026 PSUs.”

(b) With respect to each 2024 PSU, the number of Resideo Performance Stock Units deemed earned in accordance with this Section 4.4(b) shall be determined based on actual performance against the applicable performance goals measured as of June 30, 2026, as determined by the Resideo CHCMC (the “Earned 2024 PSUs”). Each Earned 2024 PSU will be converted into an ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award that will no longer be subject to any performance-based vesting conditions but will remain subject to the same time-vesting conditions as in effect prior to the Distribution, except that the relevant service for the purposes of fulfilling such vesting conditions (if any) will be service to the ADI Group immediately following the Distribution. Following the Effective Time, the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock underlying each ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award converted in accordance with this Section 4.4(b) shall be equal to (i) the number of Earned 2024 PSUs divided by (ii) the ADI SpinCo Conversion Ratio, with each discrete grant rounded up to the nearest whole share, subject to Section 4.7(a).

(c) With respect to each 2025 PSU, the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock underlying each ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award shall be determined based on a split performance period, with performance measured separately for the period prior to the date specified in this Section 4.4(c) and the period thereafter, as follows:

i. For the portion of the 2025 PSUs subject to a return on invested capital (“ROIC”) performance metric (the “2025 ROIC PSUs”), (x) fifty percent (50%) of the target number of units subject to the 2025 ROIC PSUs shall be measured based on actual performance against the applicable ROIC performance goals for the period from the beginning of the applicable performance period through December 31, 2025, as determined by the Resideo CHCMC (with the number of Resideo Performance Stock Units deemed earned under this Section 4.4(c)(i)(x), determined based on such actual performance (the “Earned 2025 ROIC PSUs”)), and thereafter subject to the time-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 4.4(c)(iii), and (y) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the target number of units subject to the 2025 ROIC PSUs shall remain unearned and instead subject to performance-based vesting based on relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) performance of ADI SpinCo Common Stock for a performance period and pursuant to performance goals established by the Resideo CHCMC. Following the Effective Time, the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock underlying each such ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award converted from a 2025 ROIC PSU in accordance with this Section 4.4(c)(i) shall be equal to (i) the sum of (A) the number of the Earned 2025 ROIC PSUs and (B) fifty percent (50%) of the target number of units subject to the 2025 ROIC PSUs, divided by (ii) the ADI SpinCo Conversion Ratio, with each discrete grant rounded up to the nearest whole share, subject to Section 4.7(a).

ii. For the portion of the 2025 PSUs subject to an rTSR performance metric (the “2025 rTSR PSUs”), (x) fifty percent (50%) of the target number of units subject to the 2025 rTSR PSUs shall be measured based on actual performance against the applicable rTSR performance goals for the period from the beginning of the applicable performance period through June 30, 2026, as determined by the Resideo CHCMC (with the number of Resideo Performance Stock Units deemed earned under this Section 4.4(c)(ii)(x) determined based on such actual performance (the “Earned 2025 rTSR PSUs”), and thereafter subject to the time-based vesting conditions set forth in Section 4.4(c)(iii), and (y) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the target number of units subject to the 2025 rTSR PSUs shall remain unearned and subject to vesting based on rTSR performance of ADI SpinCo Common Stock for a performance period and pursuant to performance goals established by the Resideo CHCMC.

iii. Following the Effective Time, each ADI SpinCo Post-Spin Award contemplated under this Section 4.4 (c) will, in addition to any performance vesting condition noted above, as applicable, remain subject to the same time-vesting conditions as in effect prior to the Distribution, except that the relevant service for the purposes of fulfilling such vesting conditions (if any) will be service to the ADI Group immediately following the Distribution.

i. the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to the post-conversion Resideo Director DSU Award shall be equal to the same number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to such Resideo Director DSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

ii. the number of shares of ADI SpinCo Common Stock subject to the post-conversion ADI SpinCo Director DSU Award shall be equal to the product, rounded up to the nearest whole share, of (A) the number of shares of Resideo Common Stock subject to such Resideo Director DSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Distribution Ratio.

(b) Following the Effective Time, the timing of settlement of the Resideo Director DSU Award shall be determined as follows:

i. Each Resideo Director DSU Award and ADI SpinCo Director DSU Award held by a current or former Resideo Non-Employee Director who does not serve on either the Resideo Board or the ADI SpinCo Board immediately following the Effective Time shall be settled upon or following the holder’s separation from service with the Resideo Board, at such dates and times as were applicable immediately before the Effective Time.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution shall not in and of itself result in a separation of service triggering the settlement of any Resideo Director DSU Award.

Section 4.6 ADI SpinCo Stock Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, (a) ADI SpinCo shall have established the ADI SpinCo 2026 Stock Plan for the benefit of eligible ADI SpinCo Employees, ADI SpinCo Non-Employee Directors and other service providers of ADI SpinCo, as well as Resideo Non-Employee Directors solely in respect of the conversion of the ADI SpinCo Director DSU Awards in accordance with and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.5, which shall permit the grant and issuance of equity incentive awards denominated in ADI SpinCo Common Stock as described in this Article IV, and (b) Resideo, as the sole stockholder of ADI SpinCo, shall approve the ADI SpinCo 2026 Stock Plan.

Section 4.7 General Terms.

(a) All of the adjustments described in this Article IV shall be effected in accordance with Sections 424 and 409A of the Code, in each case to the extent applicable. Each equity incentive award held by an ADI SpinCo Employee that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and granted pursuant to the Resideo 2018 Stock Plan shall be treated as described in this Article IV; provided, however, that, prior to the Effective Time, the Resideo CHCMC may provide (i) for different treatment with respect to some or all of the awards held by ADI SpinCo Employees located outside of the United States to the extent that the Resideo CHCMC deems such treatment necessary or appropriate, including to avoid adverse Tax consequences to such ADI SpinCo Employees, and (ii) for the adjustment of any performance conditions. Any such adjustments made by the Resideo CHCMC pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth below and shall be binding on the Parties and their respective Affiliates.

(b) Resideo Equity Awards, other than those awards that are canceled or converted pursuant to this Article IV, shall remain subject to all terms and conditions of the applicable Resideo Equity Plans, including the adjustment provisions thereof, and shall be adjusted in accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Resideo CHCMC in connection with the Distribution.

ADDITIONAL MATTERS

Section 5.1 Cash Incentive Programs. Each Resideo cash incentive program applicable to ADI SpinCo Employees whose performance period is currently open will conclude as of July 3, 2026, and fifty percent (50%) of the 2026 target cash incentive will be measured based on actual performance as of such date and become payable by ADI SpinCo as set forth herein (the “Accrued Incentive Amount”). In addition, following the Effective Date, each applicable ADI SpinCo Employee who participated in a Resideo cash incentive program as of immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be eligible to receive a cash incentive bonus payment in respect of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the 2026 target cash incentive in accordance with the terms and conditions, including performance metrics, established by the Compensation Committee of the ADI SpinCo Board for the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2026 (the “Post-Distribution Incentives”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Separation Agreement to the contrary, (a) ADI SpinCo shall assume and perform, discharge, fulfill and satisfy all Liabilities and obligations in respect of the Accrued Incentive Amount and Post-Distribution Incentives in respect of ADI SpinCo Employees, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms (i) of the applicable Resideo cash incentive program in respect of the Accrued Incentive Amount, and (ii) established by the Compensation Committee of the ADI SpinCo Board in respect of the Post-Distribution Incentives; and (b) Resideo shall not transfer assets in respect of the Accrued Incentive Amount. In no event shall the aggregate incentive amounts paid to the applicable ADI SpinCo Employees in respect of the 2026 performance period be less than the Accrued Incentive Amount.

Section 5.2 Time-Off Benefits. Unless otherwise required in a Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Transfer Regulations or applicable Law, ADI SpinCo shall (a) credit each ADI SpinCo Employee with the amount of accrued but unused vacation time, paid time off and other time-off benefits as such ADI SpinCo Employee had with the Resideo Group as of immediately before the date on which the employment of the ADI SpinCo Employee transfers to ADI SpinCo, and (b) permit each such ADI SpinCo Employee to use such accrued but unused vacation time, paid time off and other time-off benefits in the same manner and upon the same terms and conditions as the ADI SpinCo Employee would have been so permitted under the terms and conditions of the applicable Resideo policies in effect for the year in which such transfer of employment occurs, up to and including full exhaustion of such transferred unused vacation time, paid time off and other time-off benefits (if such full exhaustion would be permitted under the applicable Resideo policies in effect for that year in which the transfer of employment occurs).

Section 5.3 Workers’ Compensation Liabilities. Effective no later than the Effective Time, ADI SpinCo shall assume all Liabilities for ADI SpinCo Employees, ADI SpinCo Independent Contractors and Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers related to any and all workers’ compensation injuries, incidents, conditions, claims or coverage, whenever incurred (including claims incurred prior to the Effective Time, but not reported until after the Effective Time), and ADI SpinCo shall be fully responsible for the administration, management and payment of all such claims and the performance, discharge, fulfillment and satisfaction of all such Liabilities, taking into account Section 8.1 of the Separation Agreement regarding insurance matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if ADI SpinCo is unable to assume any such Liability or the administration, management or payment of any such claim solely because of the operation of applicable Law, Resideo shall retain such Liabilities and ADI SpinCo shall reimburse and otherwise fully indemnify Resideo (for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Section 2.3(c)) for all such Liabilities, including the costs of administering the plans, programs or arrangements under which any such Liabilities have accrued or otherwise arisen (such that the Parties are in the same net economic position as they would have been in had such Liabilities been assumed by the applicable member of the applicable Group pursuant to this Agreement).

Section 5.4 COBRA Compliance in the United States. Effective as of the Distribution Date, ADI SpinCo shall assume and be responsible for administering compliance with the healthcare continuation requirements of COBRA, in accordance with the provisions of the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans, with respect to ADI SpinCo Employees or Former ADI SpinCo Service Providers who incurred a COBRA-qualifying event under an ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan at any time on or after the Distribution Date and/or any COBRA qualifying event in connection with the transactions described in the Separation Agreement. ADI SpinCo shall also be responsible for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, and the corresponding provisions of the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans with respect to ADI SpinCo Employees and their covered dependents who incur a COBRA qualifying event or loss of coverage under the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plans at any time on or after the Distribution Date. ADI SpinCo shall also assume and be responsible for administering compliance with the health care continuation requirements of COBRA with respect to any former employees of Resideo or any of its subsidiaries who incurred a COBRA qualifying event under a Resideo Welfare Plan prior to the Distribution Date and who, at the time of their termination of employment, were employed by Resideo LLC, with such responsibility including administering any remaining COBRA continuation coverage obligations applicable to such individuals; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply, and ADI SpinCo shall not assume or be responsible for any such obligations, with respect to any employee whose termination of employment with Resideo LLC occurred prior to January 1, 2026 and who is not a Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider.

Section 5.5 Retention Bonuses. If requested in writing by Resideo, ADI SpinCo shall take all necessary actions (including withholding, paying and remitting Taxes, including payroll Taxes) to facilitate the payment of any retention bonuses on behalf of a member of the Resideo Group to any ADI SpinCo Employees that relate to the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement that become payable after the Distribution Date.

Section 5.6 Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the need for any treatment different from that otherwise provided herein with respect to the payment of compensation to ensure that the treatment of such compensation does not cause the imposition of a Tax under Section 409A of the Code. In no event, however, shall any Party be liable to another in respect of any Taxes imposed under, or any other costs or Liabilities relating to, Section 409A of the Code.

Section 5.7 Payroll Taxes and Reporting; CARES Act and ARP Act.

(a) The Parties shall, to the extent practicable, (i) treat ADI SpinCo or a member of the ADI Group as a “successor employer” and Resideo (or the appropriate member of the Resideo Group) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, with respect to ADI SpinCo Employees for purposes of Taxes imposed under the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, and (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the filing of more than one IRS Form W-2 with respect to each ADI SpinCo Employee for the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time (or, if later, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date), ADI SpinCo shall, or shall cause one or more members of the ADI Group to, assume and perform, discharge, fulfill and satisfy all Liabilities in respect of the payment of any employment taxes that have been delayed pursuant to Section 2302 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and Section 9651 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARP Act”) with respect to any ADI SpinCo Employee or Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider, and, if applicable, shall timely reimburse Resideo in accordance with Section 2.3(c) for any such amounts that are required to be paid by Resideo in accordance with applicable Law. Resideo shall retain the benefit of any Tax credit allowed pursuant to Section 2301 of the CARES Act and Section 9651 of the ARP Act with respect to any “qualified wages” (as defined in the CARES Act and the ARP Act, respectively) paid to any ADI SpinCo Employee or Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider after March 12, 2020 and prior to the Effective Time (or, if later, the applicable Delayed Transfer Date).

Section 5.8 Regulatory Filings. Subject to applicable Law and the Tax Matters Agreement, Resideo shall retain responsibility for all employee-related regulatory filings for reporting periods ending at or prior to the Effective Time, except for Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEO-1 reports and affirmative action program (AAP) reports and responses to Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) submissions, for which Resideo shall provide data and information (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) to ADI SpinCo, which shall be responsible for making such filings in respect of ADI SpinCo Employees.

Section 5.9 Disability.

(a) To the extent that any ADI SpinCo Employee is, as of the Distribution Date, receiving payments as part of any short-term disability program that is part of a Resideo Welfare Plan, such ADI SpinCo Employee’s rights to continued short-term disability benefits (i) will end under any Resideo Welfare Plan as of the Distribution Date; and (ii) all remaining rights will be recognized under an ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan as of the Distribution Date, and the remainder (if any) of such ADI SpinCo Employee’s short-term disability benefits will be paid by an ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan. In the event that any ADI SpinCo Employee described above shall have any dispute with the short-term disability benefits they are receiving under an ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan, any and all appeal rights of such employees shall be realized through the ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan (and any appeal rights such ADI SpinCo Employee may have under any Resideo Welfare Plan will be limited to benefits received and time periods occurring prior to the Distribution Date).

(b) As of the Distribution Date, (i) the Resideo Group shall retain all Liabilities for providing long-term disability benefits under a Resideo Welfare Plan with respect to any Resideo Employee, and (ii) the ADI Group shall assume and be solely responsible for all Liabilities for providing long-term disability benefits under an ADI SpinCo Welfare Plan with respect to (x) any ADI SpinCo Employee, and (y) any Former ADI SpinCo Service Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any employee’s long-term disability Liabilities are not expressly assigned to the ADI Group pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 5.9(b), such Liabilities shall be retained by the Resideo Group.

(c) For this purpose, a disability claim shall be considered incurred on the date of the occurrence of the event or condition giving rise to disability. For the avoidance of doubt, if, as of the Distribution Date, an individual employed by either the Resideo Group or the ADI Group is receiving short-term disability benefits due to an event or condition that occurred prior to the Distribution Date, such individual shall remain an employee of the Resideo Group or ADI Group, as applicable, and, to the extent that such individual subsequently becomes entitled to long-term disability benefits, such long-term disability benefits shall be the responsibility of, and shall be provided under a Welfare Plan maintained by, the applicable Resideo Group or the ADI Group to which such individual is employed or is intended to be employed after any required transfers of employment following the Effective Time.

Section 5.10 Certain Requirements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Transfer Regulations, the terms of a Collective Bargaining Agreement or applicable Law require that any assets or Liabilities be retained by the Resideo Group or transferred to or assumed by the ADI Group in a manner that is different from that set forth in this Agreement, such retention, transfer or assumption shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Collective Bargaining Agreement or applicable Law and shall not be made as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.11 No Hire of Employees.

(a) ADI SpinCo agrees that, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date, it shall not, and shall cause each other member of the ADI Group not to, without the prior written consent of Resideo, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, hire or attempt to hire, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, any (i) employee of the Resideo Group employed in an executive or senior management capacity (each of such roles, a “Key Role”) or (ii) former employee of the Resideo Group employed in a Key Role who was on the payroll of the Resideo Group within six (6) months of the date of such hiring or attempted hiring by ADI SpinCo or any other member of the ADI Group (other than in respect of an ADI SpinCo Employee); provided that ADI SpinCo and each other member of the ADI Group may hire any employee or former employee of the Resideo Group, including any employee or former employee of the Resideo Group employed in a Key Role, if such employee or former employee is hired more than six (6) months after the Distribution Date in response to a general solicitation for employment by use of advertisements in the media that are not specifically directed at employees of the Resideo Group.

(b) Resideo agrees that, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Distribution Date, it shall not, and shall cause each other member of the Resideo Group not to, without the prior written consent of ADI SpinCo, directly or indirectly, on its own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, hire or attempt to hire, whether as an employee, consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, any (i) employee of the ADI Group employed in a Key Role or (ii) former employee of the ADI Group employed in a Key Role who was on the payroll of the ADI Group within six (6) months of the date of such hiring or attempted hiring by Resideo or any other member of the Resideo Group; provided that Resideo and each other member of the Resideo Group may hire any employee or former employee of the ADI Group, including any employee or former employee of the ADI Group employed in a Key Role, if such employee or former employee is hired more than six (6) months after the Distribution Date in response to a general solicitation for employment by use of advertisements in the media that are not specifically directed at employees of the ADI Group.

(c) If a final and non-appealable judicial determination is made that any provision of this Section 5.11 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction with respect to any particular jurisdiction, the provisions of this Section 5.11 will not be rendered void but will be deemed to be modified solely with respect to the applicable jurisdiction to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the greatest period and to the greatest extent that such court determines constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances.
