A. COMMON STOCK
1. General. The voting, dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of the
Common Stock are subject to and qualified by the rights, powers and preferences of the holders
of the Preferred Stock set forth herein.
2. Voting. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share of Common Stock held at all meetings of stockholders (and written actions in lieu of
meetings). There shall be no cumulative voting. The number of authorized shares of Common
Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then
outstanding) by (in addition to any vote of the holders of one or more series of Preferred Stock
that may be required by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation) the affirmative vote of the
holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes
represented by all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote,
irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law.
B. PREFERRED STOCK
5,163,353 shares of the authorized Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby
designated "Series A Preferred Stock" and 4,241,757 shares of the authorized and unissued
Preferred Stock of the Corporation are hereby designated "Series B Preferred Stock", each with
the following rights, preferences, powers, privileges and restrictions, qualifications and
limitations. Unless otherwise indicated, references to "sections" or 'subsections" in this Part B of
this Article Fourth refer to sections and subsections of Part B of this Article Fourth.
1. Dividends.
The holders of shares of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends, on a pail
passu basis, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration
or payment of any dividend (payable other than in Common Stock or other securities and rights
convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares
of Common Stock of the Corporation) on the Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock of the
Corporation, at the rate of (i) 6% of the Series A Original Issue Price (as adjusted for stock splits,
stock dividends, reclassification and the like) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A
Preferred Stock then held by them and (ii) 6% of the Series B Original Issue Price (as adjusted
for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and the like) per annum on each outstanding
share of Series B Preferred Stock then held by them; in each case payable when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors"), calculated on
the record date for determination of holders entitled to such dividend. Such dividends shall not
be cumulative. After payment of such dividends, any additional dividends shall be distributed
among the holders of Preferred Stock, Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock pro rata based on
the number of shares of Common Stock then held by each holder (assuming conversion of all
such Preferred Stock into Common Stock), calculated on the record date for determination of
holders entitled to such dividend.

2.1 Preferential Payments to Holders of Preferred Stock. In the event
of any Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be
entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or FF Preferred
Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) one (1)
times the applicable Original Issue Price for such series, plus any dividends declared but unpaid
thereon, for each share of Preferred Stock then held by them, or (ii) such amount per share as
would have been payable had such share of Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock
pursuant to Section 4 immediately prior to such Liquidation Event, for each share of Preferred
Stock then held by them (the amount payable pursuant to this sentence is hereinafter referred to
as the "Series A Liquidation Amount" with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock and the
"Series B Liquidation Amount" with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock); for clarity, the
determination as to which of (i) or (ii) of the foregoing clause is greater shall be made at the time
of the decision to liquidate, dissolve, or wind up, or upon consummation of a Liquidation Event,
assuming any escrowed amounts will be paid out to the stockholders of the Corporation. If
upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its
stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Preferred Stock the full amount
to which they shall be entitled under this Subsection 2.1, the holders of shares of Preferred Stock
shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the
respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon
such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.
"Series A Original Issue Price" shall mean $1.18326, subject to appropriate adjustment in the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with
respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, and "Series B Original Issue Price" shall mean
$6.04054, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split,
combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series B Preferred Stock.
2.2 Payments to Holders of Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock.
In the event of any Liquidation Event, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to
be paid to the holders of shares of Preferred Stock, the remaining assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of
Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each
such holder.
2.3 Liquidation Events.
2.3.1 Definition. Each of the following events shall be
considered a "Liquidation Event" unless the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock (such consent, the "Series B Approval") elect otherwise by
written notice sent to the Corporation prior to the effective date of any such event:
(a) a merger or consolidation in which
(i) the Corporation is a constituent party or
(ii) a direct or indirect subsidiary of the
Corporation is a constituent party and either

EFTA01092594
the Corporation or its subsidiary, Coinbase,
Inc. (the "Key Subsidiary"), issues shares
of its capital stock pursuant to such merger
or consolidation,
except any such merger or consolidation involving the Corporation or a subsidiary in which the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock
that represent, immediately following such merger or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting
power, of the capital stock of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or
resulting corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following
such merger or consolidation, the ultimate parent corporation of such surviving or resulting
corporation;
(b) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other
disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any
subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one
or more subsidiaries of the Corporation if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale,
lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Corporation;
(c) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Key Subsidiary; and
(d) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation.
2.3.2 Effecting a Liquidation Event
(a) The Corporation shall not have the power to effect a
Liquidation Event referred to in Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i) unless the agreement or plan of merger or
consolidation for such transaction (the "Merger Agreement") provides that the consideration
payable to the stockholders of the Corporation shall be allocated among the holders of capital
stock of the Corporation in accordance with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2.
(b) In the event of a Liquidation Event referred to in
Subsection 2.3.1(aXii), 2.3.1(b) or 2.3.1(c), if the Corporation does not effect a dissolution of the
Corporation under the General Corporation Law within 90 days after such Liquidation Event,
then (1) the Corporation shall send a written notice to each holder'of Preferred Stock no later than
the 90th day after the Liquidation Event advising such holders of their right (and the
requirements to be met to secure such right) pursuant to the terms of the following clause (ii) to
require the redemption of such shares of Preferred Stock, and (ii) if the holders of at least a
majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock so request in a written instrument
delivered to the Corporation not later than 120 days after such Liquidation Event, the

(net of any retained liabilities associated with the assets sold or technology licensed, as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation), together with any other
assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, all to the extent permitted
by Delaware law governing distributions to stockholders (the "Available Proceeds"), on the
150th day after such Liquidation Event, to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a
price per share equal to (i) the Series A Liquidation Amount, with regard to each share of Series
A Preferred Stock then outstanding, and (ii) the Series B Liquidation Amount, with regard to
each share of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event of a redemption pursuant to the preceding sentence, if the Available Proceeds are not
sufficient to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall ratably
redeem each holder's shares of Preferred Stock to the fullest extent of such Available Proceeds,
and shall redeem the remaining shares as soon as it may lawfully do so under Delaware law
governing distributions to stockholders. Prior to the distribution or redemption provided for in
this Subsection 2.3.2(b), the Corporation shall not expend or dissipate the consideration received
for such Liquidation Event, except to discharge expenses incurred in connection with such
Liquidation Event or in the ordinary course of business.
2.3.3 Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed. The amount deemed
paid or distributed to the holders of capital stock of the Corporation upon any such merger,
consolidation, sale, transfer, exclusive license, other disposition or redemption shall be the cash

Corporation or the acquiring person, firm or other entity. The value of such property, rights or
securities shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
2.3.4 Allocation of Escrow Consideration. In the event of a
Liquidation Event pursuant to Subsection 2.3.1(a)(i), if any portion of the consideration payable
to the stockholders of the Corporation is placed into escrow or retained as holdback to be
available for satisfaction of indemnification or similar obligations in connection with such
Liquidation Event, and payable only upon certain conditions (the "Escrow Consideration"), the
Merger Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Consideration be included with the
consideration to be allocated among the holders of capital stock of the Corporation in accordance
with Subsections 2.1 and 2.2 in connection with such Liquidation Event
3. Voting.
3.1 General. On any matter presented to the stockholders of the
Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
(or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares
of Common Stock into which the shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible
as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Except as
provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of
Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class, with the
holders of Preferred Stock voting on as-converted to Common Stock basis.

Series A Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1)
OHSUSA:756169986.2
28154-1
-5-
EFTA01092596
director of the Corporation (the "Series A Director"). The holders of record of the shares of
Series B Preferred Stock, exclusively and as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect one (1)
director of the Corporation (the "Series B Director" and, together with the Series A Director, the
"Preferred Directors"). The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock, exclusively and
as a separate class, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors of the Corporation. The holders of
record of the shares of Preferred Stock, Common Stock and FF Preferred Stock voting together
shall be entitled to elect directors to fill any remaining vacancies on the Board of Directors of the
Corporation. Any director elected as provided in this Subsection 3.2 may be removed without
cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class or series of
capital stock entitled to elect such director or directors, given either at a special meeting of such
stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. If the
holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the
case may be, fail to elect a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they
are entitled to elect directors, voting exclusively and as a separate class, pursuant to the first
sentence of this Subsection 3.2, then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such
time as the holders of the A Preferred Stock, Series 13 Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as the
case may be, elect a person to fill such directorship by vote or written consent in lieu of a
meeting; and no such directorship may be filled by stockholders of the Corporation other than by
the stnckbolders of the Corporation that are entitled to elect a person to fill such directorship,
voting exclusively and as a separate class. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock
and of any other class or series of voting stock (including the Preferred Stock), exclusively and
voting together as a single class, shall be entitled to elect the balance of the total number of
directors of the Corporation. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the
presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class
or series entitled to elect such director shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing such
director. Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection 3.2, a vacancy in any directorship
filled by the holders of any class or series shall be filled only by vote or written consent in lieu of
a meeting of the holders of such class or series or by any remaining director or directors elected
by the holders of such class or series pursuant to this Subsection 3.2.

4. Optional Conversion.
The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the

4.1.1 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be
convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without
the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and
nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue
Price or Series B Original Issue Price, as applicable, by the Series A Conversion Price (as
defined below) or Series B Conversion Price (as defined below), as applicable, in effect at the
time of conversion. The "Series A Conversion Price" shall initially be equal to the Series A
Original Issue Price and the "Series B Conversion Price" shall initially be equal to the Series B
Original Issue Price. Such initial Conversion Prices, and the rate at which shares of Preferred
Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided
below.
4.1.2 Termination of Conversion Rights. In the event of a
Liquidation Event, the Conversion Rights shall terminate at the close of business on the last full
day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to
the holders of Preferred Stock.
4.2 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the
holder would otherwise be entitled, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction
multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable
upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Preferred
Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.
ONSUSA:7561699862 -9-
28154-1
EFTA01092600
4.3 Mechanics of Conversion.
4.3.1 Notice of Conversion. In order for a holder of Preferred
Stock to voluntarily convert shares of Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock, such holder
shall surrender the certificate or certificates for such shares of Preferred Stock (or, if such
registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate
affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation
against any claim that may be made against the Corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft
or destruction of such certificate), at the office of the transfer agent for the Preferred Stock (or at
the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent),
together with written notice that such holder elects to convert all or any number of the shares of
the Preferred Stock represented by such certificate or certificates and, if applicable, any event on
which such conversion is contingent. Such notice shall state such holder's name or the names of
the nominees in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for shares of Common
Stock to be issued. If required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall
be endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or his, her or its attorney
duly authorized in writing. The close of business on the date of receipt by the transfer agent (or
by the Corporation if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) of such certificates (or lost
certificate affidavit and agreement) and notice shall be the time of conversion (the "Conversion
Time"), and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares represented by
such certificate shall be deemed to be outstanding of record as of such date. The Corporation
shall, as soon as practicable after the Conversion Time, (1) issue and deliver to such holder of
Preferred Stock, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full
shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion in accordance with the provisions
hereof and a certificate for the number (if any) of the shares of Preferred Stock represented by
the surrendered certificate that were not converted into Common Stock, (ii) pay in cash such
amount as provided in Subsection 4.2 in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock
otherwise issuable upon such conversion and (iii) pay all declared but unpaid dividends on the
shares of Preferred Stock convened.
4.3.2 Reservation of Shares. The Corporation shall at all times
when the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its authorized
but unissued capital stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Stock,
such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be
sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Stock; and if at any time the
number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the
conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall take such
corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common
Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without
limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary
amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation. Before taking any action which would cause an
adjustment reducing the Series A Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price below the then
par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred
Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, the Corporation will take any corporate action
which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly
OHSUSA:7561699862
28151-1 -10-
EFTA01092601
and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Series A
Conversion Price or Series B Conversion Price, as applicable.
4.3.3 Effect of Conversion. All shares of Preferred Stock which
shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be

any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
