To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the date that corresponds to one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date the Corporation’s proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than forty (40) days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the original meeting whereby the meeting will reconvene within thirty (30) days from the original date shall be deemed for purposes of notice to be a continuation of the original meeting and no nominations by a stockholder of persons to be elected Directors of the Corporation may be made at any

- 11 -

such reconvened meeting other than pursuant to a notice that was timely for the meeting on the date originally scheduled. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a Director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor regulation thereto (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a Director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such stockholder, and (b) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such stockholder.

The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by this Section 11, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

Section 12. Requests for Stockholder List and Corporation Records. Stockholders shall have those rights afforded under the DGCL to inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation’s stock ledger, list of stockholders and other books and records,

Section 4. Vacancies. In the case of any increase in the number of Directors or any vacancy in the Board of Directors, such newly created directorship or vacancy may be filled by vote of the stockholders at a meeting called for such purpose or, unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws provide otherwise, by the affirmative vote of the majority of the remaining Directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws provide otherwise, when one or more Directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, the majority of Directors then in office, including those who

- 14 -

have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective. Any Director elected or chosen as provided herein shall serve for the remaining term of the directorship to which appointed or until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 5. Place of Meetings.

Section 8. Notice of Meetings. Notice of each special meeting of the Board (and of each regular meeting for which notice shall be required), stating the time, place and purposes thereof, shall be mailed to each Director, addressed to him at his residence or usual place of business, or shall be sent to him by telex, cable, facsimile or telegram so addressed, or shall be given personally or by telephone, on twenty-four (24) hours notice,

- 15 -

or such shorter notice as the person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. Notice of any such meeting need not be given to any Director, however, if waived by him in writing or by telegraph, telex, cable, facsimile or other form of recorded communication, or if he shall be present at the meeting, except when he is present for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of such meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 9. Quorum and Manner of Acting. The presence of at least a majority of the authorized number of Directors shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, a majority of the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Except where a different vote is required by law, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which a quorum shall be present shall be the act of the Board.

Section 10. Action by Consent; Participation by Telephone or Similar Equipment. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board may be taken without a meeting if all the Directors consent in writing to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. The resolution and the written consents thereto by the Directors shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any one or more Directors may

participate in any meeting of the Board by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at a meeting of the Board.

Section 11. Resignation; Removal. Any Director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Corporation, provided, however, that written notice to the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary shall be deemed to constitute notice to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect upon receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein, and, unless otherwise specified therein, acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

Any Director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of Directors, provided, however, that when the holders of any class or series are entitled by the Certificate of Incorporation to elect one (1) or more Directors, then, in respect to the removal without cause of a Director or Directors so elected, the required majority vote shall be of the holders of the outstanding shares of such class or series and not of the outstanding shares as a whole.

Section 12. Compensation of Directors. The Board may, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, provide for the payment to any of the Directors, other than officers or employees of the Corporation, of a specified amount for services as a Director and/or member of a committee of the Board, or of a

- 17 -

specified amount for attendance at each regular or special Board meeting or committee meeting, or of both, and all Directors shall be reimbursed for expenses of attendance at any such meeting; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
