MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.01. Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the Corporation’s state of incorporation, on such date and at such time as may be determined from time to time by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. If no place is so fixed for a meeting, it shall be held at the Corporation’s then principal executive office.
Section 2.02. Annual Meetings. Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting as permitted by the corporate laws of the Corporation’s state of incorporation as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (“State Law”), an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors and to transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. Stockholders may, unless the articles/certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, act by written consent to elect directors; provided, however, that, if such consent is less than unanimous, such action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are filled by such action.
Section 2.03. Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Board, the President or any Executive or Senior Vice President and shall be called by the Secretary at the request in writing of holders of record of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Notices of special meetings shall be sent in accordance with Section 2.04, and any business transacted at a special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

Section 2.04. Notice of Meetings and Adjourned Meetings; Waivers of Notice. (a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, 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, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by State Law, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.04(a), when a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, and 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, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or 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 of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
(b) A written waiver of any such notice signed by the person entitled thereto, 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 shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends the 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.
Section 2.05. Quorum. Unless otherwise provided under the articles/certificate of incorporation, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
Section 2.06. Voting. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the articles/certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of capital stock of the Corporation held by such stockholder. Shares of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Corporation shall not have voting rights. Except as otherwise provided in the articles/certificate of incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation present, in person or by written proxy, at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except for the election of directors, which shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast.
(b) Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by written proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Section 2.07. Action by Consent. (a) Unless otherwise provided in the articles/certificate of incorporation and subject to Section 2.02, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock or their proxy holders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the Corporation’s state of incorporation, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested or, to the extent permitted by and subject to State Law, by electronic transmission, provided 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 transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and the date of such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which
2
such consent was signed. If required by State Law, prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided in this Section 2.07.
(b) Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder or proxyholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders or proxyholders to take action are delivered to the Corporation.
Section 2.08. Organization. At each meeting of stockholders, the Chair of the Board, if one shall have been elected, or in the Chair’s absence or if one shall not have been elected, the director designated by the vote of the majority of the directors present at such meeting, shall act as chair of the meeting. The Secretary (or in the Secretary’s absence, the person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint secretary of the meeting) shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep the minutes thereof.
Section 2.09. Order of Business. The order of business at all meetings of stockholders shall be as determined by the chair of the meeting.

At the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time.

Section 3.08. Waiver of Notice. A written waiver of any notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors signed by the director entitled thereto, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the director entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

Section 3.09. Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, but no such committee shall have power or authority in reference to the following matters: a) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by State Law to be submitted to the stockholders for approval; or b) adopting, amending or repealing any By-Law of the Corporation. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested.
Section 3.10. Action by Consent.

Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

The Board of Directors by resolution adopted in each specific instance may similarly indemnify any person other than an Indemnified Person (any such person is hereinafter referred to in this Article 5 as an “Other Person”) for liabilities incurred by him or her in connection with services rendered by him or her for or at the request of the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification of an Indemnified Person shall not be made (i) in any case where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness; or (ii) in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by an Indemnified Person (except in connection with a Proceeding to enforce a right to indemnification or
6
advancement of expenses under this Article 5), unless required by State Law or otherwise authorized by the Board of Directors.
Section 5.02. Advances. Expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by any Indemnified Person in defending a Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person, to repay such amount without interest if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by law. Advance expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Other Persons may be paid if the Board of Directors deems it appropriate and upon such terms and conditions, including the giving of an undertaking, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.
Section 5.03. Applicability; Survival. The provisions of Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall be applicable to all Proceedings commenced before or after the adoption of this Article 5, whether such arise out of acts or omissions which occurred prior or subsequent to such adoption and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be an Indemnified Person (or, where and so long as the Board of Directors has authorized indemnification or advancement of expenses to an Other Person in accordance with this Article 5, to an Other Person who has ceased to render services for or at the request of the Corporation, its parent or subsidiaries) and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
Section 5.04. Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an Indemnified Person or Other Person against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her while serving in any such capacity, or in any other capacity on behalf of the Corporation, its parent or any of its subsidiaries, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under law.
Section 5.05. Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Article 5 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action or inaction in his or her official capacity and as to action or inaction in another capacity while holding such office.
