Section 2. Meetings of Stockholders.
(A) Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of
directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may

the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or
right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the
Corporation or otherwise (a Derivative Instrument) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by
such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, and any other direct or indirect opportunity to
profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the
Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which
such stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, has a right to vote any shares of any security of the
Corporation or has granted any such right to any person or persons, (D) any short interest in any
security of the Corporation (for purposes of these Bylaws a person shall be deemed to
-2-
have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any
contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or
share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights
to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such stockholder that are
separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate
interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a
general or limited partnership in which such stockholder is a general partner or, directly or
indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees
(other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder is entitled to based on any increase or
decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the
date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such
stockholders immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented
by such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than 10 days after the record date for
the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date), and (iii) any other information
relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, 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 and the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder; (b) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a director or
directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, set forth (i) a brief
description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if
any, in such business and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings
between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including
their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; (c) set forth,
as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to
the Board of Directors (i) all information relating to such person 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 election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such persons
written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if
elected) and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary
agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material
relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective
affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each
proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert
therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required
to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the
nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any
affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the registrant for
purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of
such registrant; and
(d) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, include a
completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 5 of Article
II of these Bylaws. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other
information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such
proposed nominee
-3-
to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a
reasonable stockholders understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(3) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 3(A)(2) of Article II of
these Bylaws 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 by the Corporation naming all of the
nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days
prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, a stockholders notice
required by this Section 3 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for
any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to 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.
(B) Special Meetings. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of
stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporations notice of
meeting. 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 pursuant to the Corporations notice
of meeting (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 the
Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this
Section 3 and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and
(iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3(A)(2) as to such nomination
(other than with respect to timing requirements, which shall be governed by the next sentence). A
stockholders notice with respect to any such nomination (including the completed and signed
questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 5 of Article II of these Bylaws)
shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not
earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting and
not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to the date of such special
meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100
days prior to the date of such special meeting, 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 any adjournment or postponement
of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a
stockholders notice as described above.
Section 4. General.
(A) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these
Bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a
meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the
procedures set forth in these Bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as it may be amended from time to time (the
Certificate of Incorporation) or these Bylaws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power
and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the
meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in
-4-
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 defective proposal or
nomination shall be disregarded.
(B) For purposes of Section 3 of Article II of these Bylaws, public announcement shall mean
disclosure in a press release reported by a 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 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(C) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 of Article II of these Bylaws, a stockholder
shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3 of Article II of these
Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules
promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to
nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 3(A)(1)(c)
or Section 3(B) of Article II of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect
any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporations proxy
statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or
these Bylaws.

accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 3 of Article II of
these Bylaws) to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person
and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made
(which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) and a written
representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request) that such
person (A) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding
with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person,
if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a Voting
Commitment) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (2) any Voting Commitment that could
limit or interfere with such persons ability to comply, if elected as a director of the
Corporation, with such persons fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) is not and will not
become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than

of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the
Corporation

if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at
such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided,
however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for
which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned
meeting, notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of
remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present
in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given in conformity herewith. At any
adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original
meeting.
Section 7. Quorum; Adjournment. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of
all of the shares of the stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy,
shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a
larger number may be required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation. Where a separate vote by
a class or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or
classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to
take action with respect to that vote on that matter and the affirmative vote of the majority of
shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting
shall be the act of such class, except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws.
If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the
meeting to another place, if any, date or time.
Section 8. Organization. Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the
absence of such a person, the Chairman of the Board or, in his or her absence, the Chief Executive
Officer of the Corporation or, in his or her absence, the President of the Corporation or, in his
or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to
vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders
and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the
secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman of the meeting appoints.
Section 9. Conduct of Business. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the
order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of
voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The chairman shall have the
power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date
-6-
and time. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the
stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.
Section 10. Proxies and Voting. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to
vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission
permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting. 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, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a
complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.
The Corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of
stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report
thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more alternate inspectors to replace any inspector
who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the
person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more
inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his 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. Every vote taken by ballots shall be
counted by a duly appointed inspector or inspectors.
Each stockholder shall have one vote for every share of stock entitled to vote which is
registered in his, her or its name on the record date for the meeting, except as otherwise provided
herein or required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation.
All voting, including on the election of directors but excepting where otherwise provided
herein or required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, may be by a voice vote; provided,
however, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or such stockholders proxy, a
stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballots, each of which shall state
the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the
procedure established for the meeting. Every vote taken by ballots shall be counted by an inspector
or inspectors appointed by the chairman of the meeting.
All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise
required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation or herein, all other matters shall be
determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.
Section 11. Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of
each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in such stockholders name, shall be open
to the examination of any such stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary
business hours for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting in the manner provided
by law.
The stock list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time
of the meeting as provided by law. This list shall presumptively determine the
-7-
identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by
each of them.
ARTICLE III.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Section 1. Duties and Powers. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the
direction of the Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do
all such lawful acts and things as are not by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by
these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 2. Number and Term of Office. The Board of Directors shall consist of one (1) or more
members. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors
under specified circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively
by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. The
directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock
under specified circumstances, shall be divided, with respect to the time for which they severally
hold office, into three classes consisting of Class A Directors, Class B Directors and Class C
Directors. The terms of office of the Class A Directors, Class B Directors and Class C Directors
will expire at the Corporations first, second and third annual meeting of stockholders,
respectively, following the initial adoption of this Bylaw provision. Each director shall hold
office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. At each annual
meeting of stockholders, commencing with the next succeeding annual meeting, (i) directors elected
to succeed those directors whose terms then expire shall be elected for a term of office to expire
at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election, with each director to
hold office until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, and (ii) if
authorized by a resolution of a majority of the Whole Board, directors may be elected to fill any
vacancy on the Board of Directors, regardless of how such vacancy shall have been created. Any
director may resign at any time upon written notice to the Corporation. Directors need not be
stockholders.
Section 3. Vacancies. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock then
outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of
directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement,
disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall, unless otherwise required by law or by
resolution of the Board of Directors, be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in
office, though less than a quorum (and not by stockholders), and directors so chosen shall hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders at which the term of office of the
class to which they have been elected expires or until such directors successor shall have been
duly elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of authorized directors shall shorten the
term of any incumbent director.
Section 4. Meetings. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both
regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware. Regular meetings of the Board
of Directors shall be held at such place or places, on such date or dates and at such time or times
as shall have been established by the Board of Directors and publicized
-8-
among all directors. A notice of each regular meeting shall not be required. Special meetings of
the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the
President or by a majority of the Whole Board and shall be held at such place, on such date and at
such time as they or he or she shall fix. Notice of the place, date and time of the special meeting
shall be given to each director by whom it is not waived either by mail not less than forty-eight
(48) hours before the date of the meeting, by telephone, facsimile, telegram or electronic
transmission on not less than twenty-four (24) hours notice, or on such shorter notice as the
person or persons calling such meeting may deem necessary or appropriate in the circumstances.
Meetings may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if all those
not present waive such notice in accordance with Section 2 of Article VII of these Bylaws. Unless

ARTICLE IX.
DIRECTORS LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
DIRECTORS LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be
made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director, officer or trustee 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), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an
official capacity as a director, officer or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a
director, officer or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the
fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted
the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in
settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided,
however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article IX 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 of the Corporation.
Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred
in Section 1 of this Article IX, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the
Corporation the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in
advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however,
that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 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
(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 (hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise.
Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article IX
is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been
received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which
case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter
bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If 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
-15-
that, 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 for
indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. 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 Delaware General
Corporation Law, 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 IX or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person
may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporations Certificate of Incorporation,
Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise.
Section 5. Insurance and Trust Fund. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred
by statute:
(1) the Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any
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 Delaware General Corporation Law; and
(2) the Corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest and/or use other means
(including, without limitation, letters of credit, surety bonds and/or other similar arrangements),
as well as enter into contracts providing indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law,
and including as part thereof provisions with respect to any or all of the foregoing, to ensure the
payment of such amounts as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided therein, or
elsewhere.
Section 6. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and
to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of
the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses
of directors and officers of the Corporation.
-16-
Section 7. Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article IX 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 IX 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.
