(A)

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given.  Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company.  Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (1) the Company is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Company in accordance with such consent and (2) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

(B)

Notice given pursuant to subparagraph (A) of this Paragraph 2.5 shall be deemed given:

(1)

If by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

(2)

If by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

If by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (a) such posting and (b) the giving of such separate notice; and

(4)

If by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Company that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

(C)

For purposes of this Paragraph 2.5, “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

2.6

Quorum and Adjournment.  Except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series voting as a class, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such business.  The chairman of the meeting or a majority of the shares of Voting Stock so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum (or, in the case of specified business to be voted on by a class or series, the chairman or a majority of the shares of such class or series so represented may adjourn the meeting with respect to such specified business).  No notice of the time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by law.  The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

2.7

Proxies.  At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or as may be permitted by law, or by such stockholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary of the Company or such stockholder’s representative at or before the time of the meeting.

(B)

Special Meetings of Stockholders.  Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting pursuant to Paragraph 2.4 and Paragraph 2.5 of these Bylaws.  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 Company’s notice of meeting (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (2) by any stockholder of the Company who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complies with the notice procedures set forth in these Bylaws and who is a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Company.  Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders if the stockholder’s notice as required by Paragraph 2.8(A)(2) of these Bylaws shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 70th 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.

3.2

Number, Tenure and Qualifications.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specific circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed by, and may be increased from time to time by, the affirmative vote of a majority of the members at any time constituting the Board of Directors.  In the absence of a resolution by the Board of Directors in establishing the size of the Board of Directors, the number of directors of the Company shall be nine.  Each director shall hold office for the full term for which such director is elected and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.  Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware or stockholders of the Company.  Each director shall provide the Company with such director’s business and residence addresses, and email address, and facsimile telephone number.  By virtue of being elected to the Board of Directors, each director consents to the notice provisions contained in these Bylaws, including, but not limited to provisions of Paragraph 3.6 of these Bylaws.

Regular Meetings.  A regular meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without other notice than these Bylaws immediately after, and at the same place as, each annual meeting of stockholders.  The Board of Directors may, by resolution, provide the time and place, and charges thereof, for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.

The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full Board of Directors, may designate from among its members one or more committees (in addition to those listed below), each of which shall be comprised of one or more of its members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee.  Any such committee, to the extent provided in such resolution or in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL.  Any such committee may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers which may require it.  In addition to the above, such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any such committee and to fill vacancies in it.  A majority of the number of members of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  The act of the majority of the members of a committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee, unless the act of a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  Each such committee may elect a chairman and appoint such subcommittees and assistants as it may deem necessary.  Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, meetings of any committee shall be conducted in accordance with Paragraphs 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.11 and 7.4 hereof.  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 constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member.  Any member of any such committee elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Company will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.  Election or appointment of a member of a committee shall not of itself create contract rights.

(C)

Any action taken by any committee of the Board of Directors shall promptly be recorded in the minutes and filed with the Secretary.

(D)

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the composition and powers of any committee of the Board of Directors are expressly subject to the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the capital stock of the Company is traded or quoted, or the Exchange Act.

(F)

Audit Committee.  The Board of Directors may create an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors whose members shall consist solely of directors who are not employees or affiliates of the Company and have no relationship with the Company that would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a member of such committee.  The Audit Committee shall have and may exercise the power and authority to recommend to the Board of Directors the accounting firm to be selected by the Board of Directors or to be recommended by it for stockholder approval, as independent auditor of the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and to act on behalf of the Board of Directors in meeting and reviewing with the independent auditors, the chief accounting officer, the chief internal auditor, if any, and the appropriate corporate officers, matters relating to corporate financial reporting and accounting procedures and policies, adequacy of financial, accounting and operating controls and the scope of the respective audits of the independent auditors and the internal auditor, if any.  The Audit Committee shall also review the results of such audits with the respective auditors and shall report the results of those reviews to the Board of Directors.  The Audit Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors any recommendations it may have from time to time with respect to financial reporting and accounting practices and policies and financial, accounting and operational controls and safeguards.  The Audit Committee may submit to the Compensation Committee any recommendations it may have with respect to the compensation of the chief accounting officer and the chief internal auditor, if any.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors, designate not less than two of its qualifying members from time to time to constitute members of the Audit Committee.

(G)

Nominating Committee.  The Board of Directors may create a Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, which committee shall have and may exercise the power and authority to recommend to the Board of Directors prior to each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company: (1) the appropriate size and composition of the Board of Directors; and (2) nominees: (a) for election to the Board of Directors for whom the Company should solicit proxies; (b) to serve as proxies in connection with the annual stockholders’ meeting; and (c) for election to all committees of the Board of Directors other than the Nominating Committee.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, designate one or more of its members from time to time to constitute members of the Nominating Committee.

 

 

6

 

(H)

Compensation Committee.  The Board of Directors may create a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose members shall consist solely of directors who are not employees or affiliates of the Company and have no relationship with the Company that would, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a member of such committee.  The Compensation Committee shall have and may exercise all the power and authority to (1) establish a general compensation policy for the officers and employees of the Company, including to establish and at least annually review officers’ salaries and levels of officers’ participation in the benefit plans of the Company, (2) prepare any reports that may be required by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise relating to officer compensation, (3) approve any increases in directors’ fees, and (4) exercise all other powers of the Board of Directors with respect to matters involving the compensation of employees and the employee benefits of the Company as shall be delegated by the Board of Directors to the Compensation Committee from time to time.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee shall have the power and authority to authorize the issuance of capital stock of the Company pursuant to any compensation or benefit plan or arrangement adopted or entered into by the Company.  The Board of Directors shall, by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, designate two or more of its qualifying members from time to time to constitute members of the Compensation Committee.

3.10

Action Without a Meeting.  Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all the members of the Board of Directors, or such committee, as the case may be, and filed with the Secretary.

3.11

Board and Committee Telephone Meetings.  Subject to the provisions required or permitted by the DGCL for notice of meetings, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this Paragraph 3.11 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

3.12

Removal.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specific circumstances, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnification

6.1

Mandatory Indemnification.  Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or who was or is a witness without being named a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, claim, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding, and any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any judgments, penalties (including excise taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if it is determined that he acted in good faith and reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in his official capacity on behalf of the Company that his conduct was in the Company’s best interests; (B) in all other cases, that his conduct was not opposed to the best interests of the Company; and (C) with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, that he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event a determination is made that such person is liable to the Company or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such person, the indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by such person in connection with the Proceeding and shall not be made in respect of any Proceeding in which such person shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company.  The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself be determinative of whether the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any Proceeding which is a criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.  A person shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the person shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.

6.2

Determination of Indemnification.  Any indemnification under the foregoing Paragraph 6.1 (unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction) shall be made by the Company only upon a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances by virtue of the fact that it shall have been determined that such person has met the applicable standard of conduct.  Such determination shall be made (A) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (B) if such quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the Board of Directors, designated to act in the matter by a majority of all directors, consisting solely of two or more directors who at the time of the vote are not named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding; (C) by special legal counsel (in a written opinion) selected by the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors by a vote as set forth in clause (A) or (B) of this Paragraph 6.2, or, if such quorum cannot be obtained and such committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of all directors (in which directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding may participate); or (D) by the stockholders of the Company in a vote that excludes the shares held by directors who are named defendants or respondents in the Proceeding.

6.3

Advance of Expenses.  Reasonable expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person who was or is a witness or who was or is named as a defendant or respondent in a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a director or officer of the Company, or while a director or officer of the Company is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another corporation, partnership, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall be paid by the Company at reasonable intervals in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, and without the determination specified in the foregoing Paragraph 6.2, upon receipt by the Company of a written affirmation by such person of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article VI, and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article VI.  Such written undertaking shall be an unlimited obligation of such person and it may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

6.4

Permissive Indemnification.  The Board of Directors of the Company may authorize the Company to indemnify employees or agents of the Company, and to advance the reasonable expenses of such persons, to the same extent, following the same determinations and upon the same conditions as are required for the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to directors and officers of the Company.

6.5

Nature of Indemnification.  The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to actions taken in an official capacity and as to actions taken in any other capacity while holding such office, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

6.6

Insurance.  The Company shall have the power and authority to purchase and maintain insurance or another arrangement on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability, claim, damage, loss or risk asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of the status of such person as such, irrespective of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify and hold such person harmless against such liability under the provisions hereof.  If the insurance or other arrangement is with a person or entity that is not regularly engaged in the business of providing insurance coverage, the insurance or arrangement may provide for payment of a liability with respect to which the Company would not have the power to indemnify the person only if including coverage for the additional liability has been approved by the stockholders of the Company.  Without limiting the power of the Company to procure or maintain any kind of insurance or other arrangement, the Company may, for the benefit of persons indemnified by the Company, (A) create a trust fund; (B) establish any form of self-insurance; (C) secure its indemnity obligation by grant of a security interest or other lien on the assets of the Company; or (D) establish a letter of credit, guaranty, or surety arrangement.  The insurance or other arrangement may be procured, maintained, or established within the Company or with any insurer or other person deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors regardless of whether all or part of the stock or other securities of the insurer or other person are owned in whole or part by the Company.  In the absence of fraud, the judgment of the Board of Directors as to the terms and conditions of the insurance or other arrangement and the identity of the insurer or other person participating in the arrangement shall be conclusive and the insurance or arrangement shall not be voidable and shall not subject the directors approving the insurance or arrangement to liability, on any ground, regardless of whether directors participating in the approval are beneficiaries of the insurance or arrangement.

6.8

Change of Control.  Following any “change of control” of the Company of the type required to be reported under Item 5.01 of Form 8-K promulgated under the Exchange Act, any determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the claimant which independent legal counsel shall be retained by the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company.
