MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.01. Place of Meetings. Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware as designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders' meetings shall be held at the Corporation's principal executive office.

Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors of the Corporation (“Directors”), and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before such meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, on a date and at a time as shall be fixed by the Board and designated in the notice or waiver of notice of such annual meeting. At the annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought at the meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only as provided in Section 2.14.

Section 2.03. Special Meetings.

| (a) | Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called only by (i) the Board or the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, the President of the Corporation, or (ii) the Secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") upon the written request or requests submitted in accordance with, and in the form and containing the information required by, this Section 2.03 (a “Proper Special Meeting Request”), by one or more holders of record of shares of common stock of the Corporation (“Shares”) representing, collectively, 25% or more of the voting power of the then issued and outstanding Shares (the “Requisite Percentage”). Any such meeting shall be held on a date, place, if any, and at a time as shall be designated by the Board.

| (b) | Holders of record of Shares representing, collectively, the Requisite Percentage shall have the right to request that the Secretary call a special meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors or Other Business only if the item or items of business to be transacted at the requested special meeting are a proper subject for stockholder action at a special meeting of stockholders under applicable law and only upon compliance by the requesting stockholders with the provisions of this Section 2.03. In the case of a special meeting of stockholders called by the Secretary following receipt of a written request or requests from holders of record holding, collectively, the Requisite Percentage in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii), the date of such special meeting, as fixed by the Board, shall not be fewer than 45 days nor more than 90 days after the first date by which Proper Special Meeting Request(s) by holders of record holding, collectively, the Requisite Percentage have been received by the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office in accordance with this Section 2.03. Nothing in this Section 2.03 shall be deemed or construed to give any stockholder a right to fix the date, time, or place of, or to fix any record date for, any special meeting of stockholders.

| (c) | To be in proper form and constitute a Proper Special Meeting Request, a special meeting request from any stockholder or stockholders pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) shall be in writing, shall be submitted by a holder of record of Shares, and shall set forth and describe in fair, accurate, and material detail:

| (i) | the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is to be called; and

| (ii) | (A) all Stockholder Information as to (x) each stockholder of record making a special meeting request pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), (y) the Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners, if different, on whose behalf such request is given, and (z) any affiliates or associates (each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, or its successor provision) of such stockholder(s) of record or Beneficial Owner(s) (in each case, a “Requesting Person”);

(B) all Disclosable Interests as to each Requesting Person;

2

(C) all Proposed Nomination Information as to each Proposed Nominee, if a purpose of the special meeting is to elect Directors and the Requesting Person is proposing any Proposed Nominee(s);

(D) all Proposed Business Information, if a purpose of the special meeting is the consideration of any Other Business;

(E) a Holder of Record Representation;

(F) a Proxy Solicitation Representation by or on behalf of each Requesting Person.

The Corporation may require any Proposed Nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine (1) the eligibility of any Proposed Nominee to serve as a Director, and (2) whether such Proposed Nominee qualifies as an “independent director” or “audit committee financial expert” under applicable law, securities exchange rule or regulation, or any publicly disclosed corporate governance guideline or committee charter of the Corporation.

For purposes of this Section 2.03, capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined in this Section 2.03 shall have such meanings as defined in Section 2.14(d); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.03, (x) the term “Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.14(d), (y) references to the date or dates as of which updated or supplemental information is required to be true and correct pursuant to Section 2.14 shall refer to the date or dates as of which updated or supplemental information is required to be true and correct pursuant to Section 2.03(d), and (z) references to the stockholder's notice required by Section 2.14(a) or Section 2.14(b) shall refer to special meeting requests pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii).

| (d) | In the case of a special meeting of stockholders called pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), each Requesting Person shall further update and supplement such Requesting Person’s special meeting request(s) so that:

| (i) | the information provided or required to be provided in such special meeting request(s) pursuant to Section 2.03(c) shall be updated and supplemented to be true and correct as of:

| (A) | the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting;

| (B) | if such record date is more than 15 Business Days before the special meeting, as of the date that is 10 Business Days before the special meeting; and

3

| (C) | as of the date that is 10 Business Days before the date scheduled for the convening of any postponed special meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned special meeting.

| (ii) | The time that such updated and supplemental information must be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office is as follows:

| (A) | in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i)(A) to be true and correct as of the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting, not later than the later of (x) 5 Business Days after such record date or (y) 5 Business Days after the Public Announcement of such record date;

| (B) | in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i)(B) to be true and correct as of the date that is 10 Business Days before the special meeting, not later than 8 Business Days before the special meeting; and

| (C) | in the case of information that is required to be updated and supplemented pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i)(C) to be true and correct as of the date that is 10 Business Days before the date scheduled for the convening of any postponed special meeting or the reconvening of any adjourned special meeting, not later than 8 Business Days before the date scheduled for such convening or reconvening of the special meeting; provided, however, if it is not practicable to provide such updated and supplemental information not later than 8 Business Days before the date scheduled for such convening or reconvening, on the first practicable date before any such convening or reconvening.

| (e) | The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a special meeting request from a stockholder (i) that does not comply with this Section 2.03, (ii) that relates to an item of business to be transacted at the requested special meeting that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, or (iii) if the business proposed to be conducted at the requested special meeting as set forth in such special meeting request is identical to or substantially similar to an item of business that will be submitted for stockholder approval or consideration at any meeting of stockholders to be held on or before the 90th day after the first date by which Proper Special Meeting Request(s) by holders of record of Shares representing, collectively, the Requisite Percentage have been received by the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office in accordance with this Section 2.03. The Board shall have the power, if the facts warrant, to determine whether or not a written request or requests have or have not been submitted in accordance with, and in the form and containing the information required by, this

4

| Section 2.03, and if such written request or requests have not been submitted in accordance with, and in the form and containing the information required by, this Section 2.03, to determine that such written request or requests do not constitute Proper Special Meeting Requests as required by this Section 2.03. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.03, each Requesting Person shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any special meeting request.

| (f) | Anything in Section 2.14 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), if a purpose of such special meeting is to elect Directors to the Board, and a Requesting Person has included in such Requesting Person’s Proper Special Meeting Request the name of each Proposed Nominee the Requesting Person proposes to nominate at the requested special meeting for election to the Board, together with all other information required by Section 2.03(c), and so long as the Requesting Person has otherwise complied with this Section 2.03, then the Requesting Person’s Proper Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to be, and shall substitute for, the notice contemplated by Section 2.14(b) and such Requesting Person shall be deemed to have given timely notice of such nominations in the proper form for purposes of Section 2.14(b) and otherwise to have complied with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2.14(b)(ii), so long as such Requesting Person provides any updates or supplements to such Proper Special Meeting Request at such times and in the forms required by Section 2.03(d).

| (g) | Except as expressly provided in, and in accordance with, this Section 2.03, stockholders shall not be permitted to call or cause any officer of the Corporation to call a special meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors or any Other Business. As provided in Section 2.05, the election of Directors and any Other Business may be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders only if such business is brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 2.05. Anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called pursuant Section 2.03(a)(ii), the Board may submit its own proposal or proposals, including nominations of persons for election to the Board if election of Directors is a purpose of the special meeting, for consideration at such special meeting. At the direction of the Board, such proposal or proposals shall be included in the notice for the special meeting as a purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. In the case of a special meeting of stockholders called pursuant to this Section 2.03 (whether by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the President or by the Secretary following receipt of a written request or requests from holders of record of Shares representing, collectively, the Requisite Percentage in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii)), if a purpose of such special meeting is to elect Directors to the Board, then stockholders (other than the requesting stockholders who have properly made nominations pursuant to Section 2.03(f) by including such nominations in a Proper Special Meeting Request) may nominate additional candidates for election as Directors only in accordance and subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14(b).

5

| (h) | A stockholder may revoke a special meeting request by submitting a written revocation of a special meeting request delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office at any time before the special meeting (a “Demand Revocation”). The Board shall have the sole discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting if after the Secretary's receipt of Proper Special Meeting Request(s) from the holders of record holding, collectively, the Requisite Percentage (i) any Demand Revocation(s) are delivered to or received by the Secretary, or (ii) at any time before the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, a Requesting Person updates or supplements such Requesting Person's special meeting request as required by Section 2.03(d), which updated or supplemented request evidences or indicates a reduction in the voting power of the Shares held of record by such Requesting Person, and as a result of such Demand Revocation(s), update, or supplementation, there no longer are unrevoked Proper Special Meeting Requests by holders of record holding, collectively, the Requisite Percentage as required by this Section 2.03.

Section 2.04. Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

| (a) | Meetings of Stockholders. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board so fixes a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of such meeting, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to receive notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a) of this Section 2.04.

6

| (b) | Dividends and Distributions. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a record date. Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing such record date is adopted, and shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 2.05. Notice of Stockholder Meetings.

| (a) | General. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each annual or special meeting of stockholders, stating the place, if any, date, and time of such meeting, as well as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such record date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to notice of such meeting, not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. Notice of special meetings of stockholders shall also include the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice. The Board, acting by resolution, may postpone and reschedule any previously scheduled annual or special meeting of stockholders. Written notice of any meeting may be given to stockholders by personal delivery, mail, or, with the consent of the stockholder entitled to receive notice, by means of electronic transmission as provided in this Section 2.05(a). If mailed, such notice shall be delivered by postage prepaid envelope directed to each stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears in the records of the Corporation and shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail. Notice given by electronic transmission pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a facsimile telecommunication number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. An affidavit of the Secretary or an assistant secretary, or of the transfer agent or other agent, of the Corporation that the notice has been given by personal delivery, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

| (b) | Adjournments. When any meeting is convened, the presiding officer of the meeting may adjourn or recess the meeting if (i) no quorum is present for the transaction of business, (ii) the Board determines that adjournment is necessary or

7

| appropriate to enable the stockholders to consider fully information which the Board determines has not been made sufficiently or timely available to stockholders, or (iii) the Board or presiding officer determines that adjournment is otherwise in the best interests of the Corporation. Whenever a meeting of stockholders, annual or special, is adjourned to another date, time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the date, time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat. At the meeting following the recess or adjournment of the original meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at such original meeting.

Section 2.06. Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder who files a written waiver of notice with the Secretary, signed by the person entitled to notice whether before or after such meeting, or by electronic transmission that either sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meetings of stockholders need to be specified in any written waiver of notice thereof. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the notice of such meeting was inadequate or improperly given.

Section 2.07. Postponement or Cancellation of Meeting. Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed and rescheduled, and, unless the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) otherwise provides, any special meeting of stockholders, other than special meetings called pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), may be canceled by resolution of the Board upon public notice given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

Section 2.08. Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the Shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders, whether annual or special. If, however, such quorum shall not be present in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, the presiding officer at the meeting in accordance with Section 2.05(b) hereof or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, when a quorum is once present to organize a meeting, it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholder.

Section 2.09. Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Share held of record by such stockholder. Unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange upon which the equity securities of the Corporation are listed for trading, or as otherwise required by law, if a quorum exists at any

8

meeting of stockholders, stockholders shall have approved any matter, other than the election of Directors, if the votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter in favor of such matter exceed the votes cast by such stockholders against such matter. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. If any holders of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock shall be entitled to more or less than one vote for any share of capital stock, on any matter for which such holders are entitled to vote, every reference in these By-laws to a majority or other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock.

Section 2.10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express, in writing, consent to or dissent from any action of stockholders without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority: (a) a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by the stockholder or his or her authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing a writing or causing such person's signature to be affixed to such a writing by any reasonable means including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; and (b) a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing an electronic transmission to the person or persons who will be the holder of the proxy or to an agent of the proxyholder(s) duly authorized by such proxyholder(s) to receive such transmission; provided, however, that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that any such electronic transmission is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination, shall specify the information upon which they relied. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon more than three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be delivered to the inspectors of election prior to or at the meeting. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by filing a subsequent duly executed proxy with the Secretary. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reliable reproduction of a writing or electronic transmission authorizing a person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or electronic transmission could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

Section 2.11. Presiding Officer and Secretary at Meetings. At any meeting of stockholders, the Chairman, or in his absence, the President, or if neither such person is available, then a person designated by the Board, shall preside at and act as the presiding officer of the meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence a person designated by the presiding officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting. The presiding officer of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedures at the meeting, including regulation of the manner of voting, the conduct of discussion, and the propriety of any proposal brought before the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution rules, regulations, and

9

procedures for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders. Except to the extent inconsistent with any such rules, regulations, and procedures, the presiding officer of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations, and procedures for the conduct of the meeting (which need not be in writing) 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 polls for each matter upon which stockholders will vote at the meeting.

Section 2.12. Inspectors of Election. The votes at each meeting of stockholders shall be supervised by not less than two inspectors of election who shall decide all questions respecting the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes. The Board shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint two or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that there are less than two inspectors present and acting at any meeting, the presiding officer shall appoint an additional inspector or inspectors so that there shall always be at least two inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of this or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the presiding officer may review all determinations made by the inspectors, and in so doing the presiding officer shall be entitled to exercise his or her sole judgment and discretion and he or she shall not be bound by any determinations made by the inspectors. All determinations by the inspectors and, if applicable, the presiding officer, shall be subject to further review by any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 2.13. List of Stockholders. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list will reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of Shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting at the Corporation's discretion, either (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open

10

to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence of the identity of the stockholders entitled to examine such list.

Section 2.14. Submission of Nominations and Proposed Business For Consideration at Meetings of Stockholders.

| (a) | Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

| (i) | Nominations of persons for election to the Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made for consideration and voting at an annual meeting of stockholders only (A) pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (B) by or at the direction of the Board, or (C) by any stockholder (x) who was a stockholder of record (and, with respect to any Beneficial Owner, if different, on whose behalf such business is proposed or such nomination or nominations are made, only if such Beneficial Owner was the Beneficial Owner of Shares) both at the time the notice provided for in Section 2.14(a)(ii) and Section 2.14(a)(iii) is delivered to the Secretary and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; (y) who is entitled to vote at the meeting upon such election of Directors or upon such business, as the case may be; and (z) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 2.14(a)(ii) and Section 2.14(a)(iii). The foregoing provisions of clause (C) provide the exclusive means by which a stockholder may make nominations of persons for election to the Board to be considered and voted upon by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board, the foregoing provisions of clause (C) provide the exclusive means by which a stockholder may propose business to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, for business (other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, and applicable law.

| (ii) | For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder, the stockholder (A) must have given timely notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office, and (B) must provide any updates or supplements to such notice at such times and in the forms required by this Section 2.14. To be timely, a stockholder's notice relating to an annual meeting shall be delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive office not later than

11

| the close of business on the 60th day, and not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day, before the date of the one-year anniversary of the immediately preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before, or more than 30 days after, such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day before such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 60th day before such annual meeting or (y) the 15th day following the day on which Public Announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the Public Announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described in this Section 2.14(a)(ii).

| (iii) | To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.14, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary (whether pursuant to this Section 2.14(a) or Section 2.14(b)) must be submitted by a holder of record of Shares and set forth and describe in fair, accurate, and material detail:

| (A) | all Stockholder Information as to each Proposing Person;

| (B) | all Disclosable Interests as to each Proposing Person;

| (C) | all Proposed Nomination Information as to each Proposed Nominee, if the notice pertains to a Proposed Nominee;

| (D) | all Proposed Business Information, if the notice relates to any Other Business;

To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.14(b), such notice shall set forth the information required by clauses (A), (B), (C), (E), and (F) of Section 2.14(a)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, notice of Proposed Nominees for election to the Board included in a stockholder request for a special meeting of stockholders submitted in accordance with Sections 2.03(a)(ii) and 2.03(c) shall be deemed timely and in proper form as set forth in Section 2.03(f).

Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the presiding officer of a special meeting of stockholders shall have the power and duty (A) if the facts warrant, to determine that a nomination proposed to be made at the special meeting was not made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.14(b), and (B) if any proposed nomination was not made in compliance with this Section 2.14(b), to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded.

15

| meeting of stockholders to present a nomination or proposed business that such stockholder has proposed in accordance with this Section 2.14, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation.

The writing or writings

21

| shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (including by electronic transmission as permitted by law), the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request that the Board fix a record date.

22

| stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation's registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

| (d) | Copy, Facsimile, or Other Reproduction.

| (e) | Procedures for Written Consent. In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take corporate action and/or related revocations, the Secretary shall provide for safekeeping of such consents and revocations and shall, as promptly as practicable, engage nationally recognized independent judges of election for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS, AND INSURANCE

Section 6.01. Indemnification.

| (a) | The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 6.01(d) with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement, the Corporation shall indemnify any person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

| (b) | The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation, unless, and only to the extent that, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

32

| (c) | Notwithstanding, and without limitation of, any other provision of this Article VI, to the extent that a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6.01(a) and (b) of these By-laws, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

| (d) | If a claim for indemnification or advancement under Sections 6.01(a), 6.01(b), 6.01(c), or 6.01(f) is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the person who has made such claim (the “indemnitee”) may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

| (e) | Any indemnification under Section 6.01(a) and (b) of these By-laws (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer or employee is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6.01(a) and (b) of these By-laws. Such determination shall be made with respect to a person who is a Director or officer of the Corporation at the time of such determination (i) by the Board by a majority vote of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such Directors or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the stockholders of the Corporation.

| (f) | Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a current or former Director or officer of the Corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in

33

| advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by such a person in his capacity as a Director or officer of the Corporation shall only be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article. The Corporation may grant rights to the advancement of expenses (including attorneys' fees) to other persons upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

| (g) | The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, other Sections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

| (h) | For purposes of this Article, references to the “Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers or employees so that any person who is or was a director, officer or employee of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

| (i) | For purposes of this Article, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a Director, officer or employee of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves service by, such Director, officer or employee with respect to any employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article.

| (j) | The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

34

Section 6.02. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any expense, liability or loss and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such expense, liability or loss under the provisions of Section 145 of the DGCL.
