Section 2.01 Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date and at
such time as the Board of Directors shall determine. At each annual meeting of stockholders,
directors shall be elected in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 hereof and any proper
business may be transacted in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof.
Special Meetings. Subject to the terms of any class or series of Preferred Stock, special
meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called by the Board of Directors (or an
authorized committee thereof) or the Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise
required by law or provided by the terms of any class or series of Preferred Stock, special
meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons.
Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of
such meeting.
Place of Meetings.
(a) Each annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be held at such location as may be
determined by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors 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 2.03(b).
(b) If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such
guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not
physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:
(1) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
(2) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such
meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication;
provided that (A) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to verify that each person
deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a
stockholder or proxy holder, (B) the Corporation implements reasonable measures to provide
such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting
and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or
hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and
(C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means
of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action is maintained by the
Corporation.
Notice of Meetings.
(c) Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of each annual or special meeting of
stockholders stating the date and time when, the place, if any, where it is to be held, the means
of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be
present in person and vote at such meeting, the information required to gain access to the list of
stockholders entitled to vote, if such list is to be open for examination on a reasonably
accessible electronic network, and the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders
entitled to notice of the meeting, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the
date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of
the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting except as
otherwise provided herein or required by law. The purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called may, in the case of an annual meeting, and shall, in the case of a special meeting, also be
stated. If mailed, notice is given when it is deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to a stockholder at such stockholders address as it shall appear on the records
of the Corporation.
(d) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to
stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under
any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the
Certificate) or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission
consented to by the stockholders to whom notice is given, as provided in Section 232 of DGCL. For
purposes of these Bylaws, electronic transmission means any form of communication not directly
involving the physical transmission of paper that
creates a record the recipient may retain,
retrieve and review and reproduce in paper form through an automated process.
(e) Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to
stockholders, notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share an
address if notice is given in accordance with the householding rules pursuant to Rule 14a-3(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, the Exchange Act) and Section 233 of the DGCL.
Section 2.02 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate
or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by
electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated
therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting will constitute
a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express
purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the
meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the
purpose of, any meeting need be specified in any written waiver of notice or waiver by electronic
transmission unless required by the Certificate.
Section 2.03 Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the
adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the
adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30
days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, then notice of the place, if any,
date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which
stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned
meeting, shall be given in conformity herewith. If after the adjournment a new record date for
stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix
a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the
DGCL, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. At any
adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.
Section 2.04 Conduct of Meetings. All annual and special meetings of stockholders shall be conducted in accordance with such
rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may determine subject to the requirements of
applicable law and, as to matters not governed by such rules and procedures, as the chairperson of
such meeting shall determine. Such rules or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors
or prescribed by the chairperson of such meeting, may include without limitation the following: (a)
the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (b) rules and procedures for
maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (c) limitations on attendance at
or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized
and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairperson of the meeting shall determine,
(d) restrictions on entry to the meeting
after the time fixed for commencement thereof, and (e)
limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the
extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairperson of the meeting, meetings
of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary
procedure.
The chairperson of any annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be either the
Chairperson of the Board of Directors or any person designated by the Chairperson of the Board of
Directors. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary, a person designated by the
chairperson of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 2.05 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business
to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (a)
pursuant to the Corporations proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (b) by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors or (c) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation (the
Record Stockholder) at the time of the giving of the notice required in the following paragraph,
who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in
this section. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means
for a stockholder to bring nominations or business (other than business included in the
Corporations proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act).
For nominations or business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder
pursuant to clause (c) of the foregoing paragraph, (1) the Record Stockholder must have given
timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (2) any such business must be
a proper matter for stockholder action under applicable law, and (3) the Record Stockholder and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, must have acted
in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement required by these
Bylaws. To be timely, a Record Stockholders notice shall be received by the Secretary at the
principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 or more than 120 days prior to the
one-year anniversary (the Anniversary) of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its
proxy materials; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is convened more than 30 days prior
to or delayed by more than 30 days after the Anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, or
if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year,
notice by the Record Stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of
business on the later of (i) the 135th day before such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day
following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the
Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event that
the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public
announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board
made by the Corporation at least 10 days before the last day a Record Stockholder may deliver a
notice of nomination in accordance with the preceding sentence, a Record Stockholders notice
required by this bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any
new positions created by such increase, if it shall be 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. In no event shall an
adjournment of an annual meeting, or the postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has
been given, commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholders notice as described
herein.
Such Record Stockholders notice shall set forth: (a) if such notice pertains to the
nomination of directors, as to each person whom the Record Stockholder proposes to nominate for
election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required
to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominees as directors pursuant
to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and such persons written consent to serve as a director
if elected; (b) as to any business that the Record Stockholder proposes to bring before the
meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting and any substantial interest (within the meaning of Item 5 of Schedule 14A under the
Exchange Act) in such business of such Record Stockholder and the beneficial owner (within the
meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and
(c) as to (1) the Record Stockholder giving the notice and (2) the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a party) (i) the name and address of each
such party, as they appear on the Corporations books; (ii) the class, series and number of shares
of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by each such party (which information
set forth in this clause shall be supplemented by such stockholder or such beneficial owner, as the
case may be, not later than 10 days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled
to notice of the meeting to disclose such ownership as of such record date); (iii) a description of
any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination between or among such
stockholder and such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any
others acting in concert with any of the foregoing; (iv) a description of any agreement,
arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests,
options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or
loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the stockholders notice by, or on
behalf of, such Record Stockholder or such beneficial owners, 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, such stockholder and such beneficial owner, with respect to shares of stock of the
Corporation (which information set forth in this clause shall be supplemented by such party not
later than 10 days after the record date for
determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting to disclose such ownership as
of such record date); (v) any other information relating to each such party that would be required
to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a
contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; (vi) a representation that the
stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting; and
(vii) a statement whether or not each such party will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy
to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation required under applicable law to carry the proposal or,
in the case of a nomination or nominations, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the
shares of capital stock of the Corporation reasonably believed by the Record Stockholder or the
beneficial holder, as the case may be, to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed
to be nominated by such stockholder and/or intends otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders
in support of such proposal or nomination (such statement, a Solicitation Statement).
Only persons nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.08 shall
be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set
forth in this Section 2.08. The chairperson of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to
determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been
made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or
business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defectively proposed business
or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be
disregarded.
Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been
brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 2.02. The notice of such special meeting
shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of persons for election to
the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to
be elected (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) provided that the Board of
Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of
record of the Corporation at the time of giving of notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall
be entitled to vote in the election of directors and who delivers a written notice to the Secretary
setting forth the information set forth in clauses (a) and (c) of the third paragraph of this
Section 2.08. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be
made at a special meeting of stockholders only if such stockholders notice required by the
preceding sentence shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 135th 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 and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be
elected at such meeting. In no event shall an adjournment of a special meeting, or a postponement
of a special meeting for which a notice has been given, commence a new time period for the giving
of a record
stockholders notice. A person shall not be eligible for election or reelection as a director
at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or at the direction of the Board of
Directors or (ii) by a record stockholder in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in
this Section 2.08.
For purposes of this section, public announcement shall mean disclosure in a press release
reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or
in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.08, a stockholder shall also comply
with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with
respect to matters set forth in this Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.08 shall be deemed to
affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporations proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Section 2.06 Quorum. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of
record of a majority of the voting power of the shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Where a separate
vote by a class or classes or series is required, the holders of a majority of the voting power of
the shares of such class or classes or series then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on
such matter present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum with respect to the
vote on that matter. In the absence of a quorum, the chairperson of the meeting may adjourn the
meeting from time to time. At any reconvened meeting following such an adjournment at which a
quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the
original meeting.
Section 2.07 Votes Required. When a quorum is present at a meeting, a matter submitted for stockholder action shall be
approved if the votes cast for the matter exceed the votes cast against such matter, unless a
greater or different vote is required by statute, any applicable law or regulation (including the
applicable rules of any stock exchange), the rights of any authorized class of stock, the
Certificate or these Bylaws. Unless the Certificate or a resolution of the Board of Directors
adopted in connection with the issuance of shares of any class or series of stock provides for a
greater or lesser number of votes per share, or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding
share of stock, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a
vote at a meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.08 Proxies. A stockholder may vote the shares owned of record by such stockholder either in person or
by proxy in any manner permitted by law, including by execution of a proxy
in writing or by telex, telegraph, cable, facsimile or electronic transmission, by the
stockholder or by the duly authorized officer, director, employee or agent of such stockholder. No
proxy shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a
longer period. A duly executed proxy will be irrevocable if it states 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 proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled
is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.
Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or
transmission created pursuant to this paragraph may be substituted or used in lieu of the original
writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission
could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be
a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
Section 2.09 Stockholder Action. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be
effected at a duly called annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation,
unless the Board of Directors authorizes such action to be taken by the written consent of the
holders of outstanding shares of stock having not less than the minimum voting power that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of stockholders at which all shares
entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, provided all other requirements of applicable law
and the Certificate have been satisfied.
Section 2.10 List of Stockholders. The Secretary of the Corporation shall, in the manner provided by law, prepare and make (or
cause to be prepared and made) a complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders, provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled
to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders
entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and
showing the address of, 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 in the manner provided by law. A list of the stockholders entitled to
vote at the meeting shall also be produced and kept at the time and place, if any, of the meeting
during the duration thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the
meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list will also be open 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 will be provided with the
notice of the meeting.
The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine
the list of stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.11 Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint Inspectors of
Election to act at such meeting or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. The Corporation may
designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If such
inspectors are not so appointed or fail or refuse to act, the chairperson of any such meeting may
(and, to the extent required by law, shall) make such an appointment. The number of Inspectors of
Election shall be 1 or 3. If there are 3 Inspectors of Election, the decision, act or certificate
of a majority shall be effective and shall represent the decision, act or certificate of all. No
such inspector need be a stockholder of the Corporation. Each inspector, before entering upon the
discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties
of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspectors ability.
The Inspectors of Election shall have such duties and responsibilities as required under
Section 231 of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereof).

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
Section 5.01 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any actual
or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact that (i) he or she is or was a
director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or (ii) he or she is or was serving at the
request of the Board of Directors or an executive officer (as such term is defined in Section 16 of
the Exchange Act) of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent of another corporation
or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an
employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, or by other applicable law as then in effect, against all expense, liability, and loss
(including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in
settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection
therewith. The right to indemnification provided by this Article shall apply whether or not the
basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as such director, officer,
employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as such director, officer, employee or
agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.01 to the contrary, except as provided in
Section 5.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation
shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by
such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.
Section 5.02 Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 5.01, shall include the right to have the
expenses incurred in defending or preparing for any such proceeding in advance of its final
disposition (hereinafter an advancement of expenses) paid by the Corporation; provided, however,
that if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her
capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is to be
rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan)
shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking containing such terms and
conditions, including the requirement of security, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate
(hereinafter an
undertaking), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to
appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article
or otherwise. The Corporation shall not be obligated to advance fees and expenses to a director,
an officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding instituted by the Corporation against
such person.
Section 5.03 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 5.01 or 5.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60
calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a
claim for an advancement of expenses under Section 5.02, in which case the applicable period shall
be 30 calendar days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation
to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in
any such suit, or in 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 be paid also the
expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to
enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to
enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not
met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL, and (ii) in any
suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an
undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication
that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct 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,
in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit
brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses
hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the
terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article V or otherwise shall be on the
Corporation.
Section 5.04 Nonexclusivity of Rights.
(a) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article
shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may
have or hereafter acquire under any law, provisions of the Certificate, Bylaw, agreement, vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
(b) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any past or
present director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss,
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 indemnitee in
furtherance of the provisions of this Article 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 in this Article.
(c) The Corporation may without reference to Sections 5.01 through 5.04 (a) and (b) hereof,
pay the expenses, including attorneys fees, incurred by any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation who is subpoenaed, interviewed or deposed as a witness or otherwise incurs
expenses in connection with any civil, arbitration, criminal or administrative proceeding or
governmental or internal investigation to which the Corporation is a party, target, or potentially
a party or target, or of any such individual who appears as a witness at any trial, proceeding or
hearing to which the Corporation is a party, if the Corporation determines that such payments will
benefit the Corporation and if, at the time such expenses are incurred by such individual and paid
by the Corporation, such individual is not a party, and is not threatened to be made a party, to
such proceeding or investigation.
Section 5.05 Additional Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may grant additional rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the law.
The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, authorize one or more officers to grant
rights of indemnification or the advancement of
expenses to employees or agents of the Corporation
on such terms and conditions as the officers deem appropriate.
Section 5.06 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article V shall be contract rights and such
rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and
shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment,
alteration or repeal of this Article V that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its
successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect
to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act
that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.
ARTICLE VI
STOCK
Section 6.01 Shares of Stock. The Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or
all classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be uncertificated shares. Any
such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is
surrendered to the Corporation (or, if such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the
procedures required by the Corporation in Section 6.07 shall have been followed). To the extent
shares of capital stock are represented by certificates, such certificates shall be signed by the
Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the President or a vice president, together with the
Secretary or assistant secretary, or the Treasurer or assistant treasurer. Any or all of the
signatures on any certificate may be facsimile. A stockholder that holds a certificate
representing shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation for which the
Board of Directors has authorized uncertificated shares may request that the Corporation cancel
such certificate and issue such shares in an uncertificated form, provided that the Corporation
shall not be obligated to issue any uncertificated shares of capital stock to such stockholder
until such certificate representing such shares of capital stock shall have been surrendered to the
Corporation (or, if such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the procedures required by
the Corporation in Section 6.07 shall have been followed).
With respect to certificated shares of capital stock, the Secretary or an assistant secretary
of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof shall mark every certificate exchanged, returned
or surrendered to the Corporation with Cancelled and the date of cancellation.
In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature
has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same
effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The
Corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
If the Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one
series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional,
or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
summarized on the face or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent
such class or series of stock, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.04 or
Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of
stock, a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so
requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other
special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of
such preferences and/or rights. In the case of uncertificated shares, within a reasonable
time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the Corporation shall send to the
registered owner thereof a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or
stated on certificates pursuant to this section, Sections 6.02(b), 6.04 and 6.05 of these Bylaws
and Sections 156, 202(a) and 218(a) of the DGCL, or with respect to this section and Section 151 of
the DGCL a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so
requests the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other
special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
Issuance of Stock; Lawful Consideration.
(a) Shares of stock may be issued for such consideration, having a value not less than the par
value thereof, as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Treasury shares may be
disposed of by the Corporation for such consideration as may be determined from time to time by the
Board of Directors. The consideration for subscriptions to, or the purchase of, the capital stock
to be issued by the Corporation shall be paid in such form and in such manner as the Board of
Directors shall determine. The Board of Directors may authorize capital stock to be issued for
consideration consisting of cash, any tangible or intangible property or any benefit to the
Corporation, or any combination thereof. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the
judgment of the Board of Directors as to the value of such consideration shall be conclusive. The
capital stock so issued shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable stock upon receipt by
the Corporation of such consideration; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prevent
the Board of Directors from issuing partly paid shares in accordance with Section 6.02(b) and
Section 156 of the DGCL.
(b) The Corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject
to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each
stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of
the Corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the
consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the
declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon
partly paid shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the
consideration actually paid thereon.
Section 6.02 Transfer Agents and Registrars. The Corporation may have one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars of its
stock whose respective duties the Board of Directors or the Secretary may, from time to time,
define. No certificate of stock shall be valid until countersigned by a transfer agent, if the
Corporation has a transfer agent, or until registered by a registrar, if the Corporation has a
registrar. The duties of transfer agent and registrar may be combined.
Section 6.03 Restrictions on Transfer and Ownership of Securities. A written restriction or restrictions on the transfer or registration of transfer of a
security of the Corporation, or on the amount of the Corporations securities that may be owned by
any person or group of persons, if permitted by Section 202 of the DGCL and noted conspicuously on
the certificate or certificates representing the security or securities so restricted or, in the
case of uncertificated shares, contained in the notice or notices sent pursuant to Section 6.02 of
these Bylaws and Section 151(f) of the DGCL, may be enforced against the holder of the restricted
security or securities or any successor or transferee of the holder including an executor,
administrator, trustee, guardian or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the
person or estate of the holder. Unless noted conspicuously on the certificate or certificates
representing the security or securities so restricted or, in the case of uncertificated shares,
contained in the notice or notices sent pursuant to Section 6.02 of these Bylaws and Sections
151(f) of the DGCL, a restriction, even though permitted by Section 202 of the DGCL, is ineffective
except against a person with actual knowledge of the restriction.
Section 6.04 Voting Trusts and Voting Agreements. One stockholder or two or more stockholders may by agreement in writing deposit capital
stock of the Corporation of an original issue with or transfer capital stock of the Corporation to
any person or persons, or entity or entities authorized to act as trustee, for the purpose of
vesting in such person or persons, entity or entities, who may be designated voting trustee, or
voting trustees, the right to vote thereon for any period of time determined by such agreement,
upon the terms and conditions stated in such agreement. The agreement may contain any other lawful
provisions not inconsistent with such purpose. After the filing of a copy of the agreement in the
registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware, which copy shall be open to the
inspection of any stockholder of the Corporation or any beneficiary of the trust under the
agreement daily during business hours, certificates of stock or uncertificated stock shall be
issued to the voting trustee or trustees to represent any stock of an original issue so deposited
with such voting trustee or trustees, and any certificates of stock or uncertificated stock so
transferred to the voting trustee or trustees shall be surrendered and cancelled and new
certificates or uncertificated stock shall be issued therefor to the voting trustee or trustees.
In the certificate so issued, if any, it shall be stated that it is issued pursuant to such
agreement, and that fact shall also be stated in the stock ledger of the Corporation. The voting
trustee or trustees may vote the stock so issued or transferred during the period specified in the
agreement. Stock standing in the name of the voting trustee or trustees may be voted either in
person or by proxy, and in voting the stock, the voting trustee or trustees shall incur no
responsibility as stockholder, trustee or otherwise, except for their own individual malfeasance.
In any case where two or more persons or entities are designated as voting trustees, and the right
and method of voting any stock standing in their names at
any meeting of the Corporation are not
fixed by the agreement appointing the trustees, the right to vote the stock and the manner of
voting it at the meeting shall be determined by a majority of the trustees, or if they be equally
divided as to the right and manner of voting the stock in any particular case, the vote of the
stock in such case shall be divided equally among the trustees.
Section 6.05 Transfer of Shares. Registration of transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation may be effected on the books
of the Corporation in the following manner:
(a) Certificated Shares. In the case of certificated shares, upon authorization by the
registered holder of share certificates representing such shares of stock, or by his attorney
authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a designated
transfer agent or transfer clerk, and upon surrender to the Corporation or any transfer agent of
the corporation of the certificate being transferred, which certificate shall be properly and fully
endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power, and otherwise in proper form for
transfer, and the payment of all transfer taxes thereon. Whenever a certificate is endorsed by or
accompanied by a stock power executed by someone other than the person or persons named in the
certificate, evidence of authority to transfer shall also be submitted with the certificate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such surrender, proper form for transfer or payment of taxes shall
not be required in any case in which the officers of the Corporation determine to waive such
requirement.
(b) Uncertificated Shares. In the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of
proper and duly executed transfer instructions from the registered holder of such shares, or by his
attorney authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a
designated transfer agent or transfer clerk, the payment of all transfer taxes thereon, and
compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form. Whenever
such transfer instructions are executed by someone other than the person or persons named in the
books of the Corporation as the holder thereof, evidence of authority to transfer shall also be
submitted with such transfer instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such payment of taxes or
compliance shall not be required in any case in which the officers of the Corporation determine to
waive such requirement.
No transfer of shares of capital stock shall be made on the books of this Corporation if such
transfer is in violation of a lawful restriction noted conspicuously on the certificate. No
transfer of shares of capital stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until
it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to
whom transferred.
Section 6.06 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Share Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in place of
any certificate previously issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the
Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owners
legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it
against any claim
that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such
certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares; but the Corporation,
in its discretion, may refuse to issue a new certificate of stock unless the Corporation is ordered
to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 6.07 Stock Ledgers. Original or duplicate stock ledgers, containing the names and addresses of the stockholders
of the Corporation and the number of shares of each class of stock held by them, shall be kept at
the principal executive office of the Corporation or at the office of its transfer agent or
registrar.
Section 6.08 Record Dates. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any
meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may, except as otherwise
required by law, 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 of Directors and which record date shall
not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of
Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders
entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes
such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for
making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date
for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders 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, and, for determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other
distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise any rights of change, conversion or exchange of
stock or for any other purpose, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on
which the Board of Directors adopts a resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders
of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any
adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record
date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case
shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to 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 Section 6.09 at the adjourned
meeting.
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 the stockholders 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 of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record
date 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 at the close of business on the day
on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
