(i) each Unit (as defined in the LLC Agreement) (each an “LLC Unit”) not held by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, whether vested or unvested, together with one Share of Class B Common Stock, will be exchanged for one Share of Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange”), which Exchange will be consummated by way of (A) first, an automatic surrender of such LLC Units not held by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to Opco LLC; (B) second, a contribution by the Company to Opco LLC of a number of Shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of LLC Units surrendered to Opco LLC as described in clause (A) above in exchange for the issuance by Opco LLC to the Company of an equal number of LLC Units; and (C) third, a distribution to each member of Opco LLC that surrendered any number of LLC Units and Class B Common Stock to Opco LLC pursuant to Section 3.9(a)(iii) of the LLC Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of LLC Units so surrendered, in a transaction treated as a “disguised sale” of partnership interests for U.S. federal income Tax purposes between such member and the Company; and

(ii) each Share of Class B Common Stock shall automatically be canceled immediately upon the consummation of the Exchange, such that no shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding at the Effective Time.

(i) each option to acquire Shares of Class A Common Stock (each such option, a “Company Stock Option”) and each restricted stock unit (each, a “Company RSU” and collectively with any Company Stock Options, the “Company Equity Awards”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then subject to any performance or other condition, will, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full at the Effective Time;

(ii) each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled, and the former holder

-3-

of such cancelled Company Stock Option will be entitled to receive (without interest), in consideration for the cancellation of such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.7) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to the unexercised portion of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (determined after giving effect to the accelerated vesting described in Section 2.3(a)(i)) multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Share under such Company Stock Option;

(iii) each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled at the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holder of such Company Stock Option, and the holder of such Company Stock Option shall not be entitled to receive any payment in exchange for such cancellation; and

(iv) each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled, and the former holder of such cancelled Company RSU will be entitled to receive (without interest), in consideration for the cancellation of such Company RSU, an amount in cash (less applicable tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.7) equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to (or deliverable pursuant to) such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (determined after giving effect to the accelerated vesting described in Section 2.3(a)(i)) multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration;

(b) Subject to Section 2.7, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make all payments to former holders of Company Equity Awards required under this Section 2.3(a) as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, in accordance with the foregoing and the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plans and applicable agreements pursuant to which such Company Equity Awards were issued and to which the Company Equity Awards are subject.

Section 2.4. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted to adopt this Agreement or consented to the adoption of this Agreement in writing and properly demands appraisal rights of such Shares pursuant to, and who has complied in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares (by the holder thereof effectively withdrawing, failing to perfect, or otherwise losing such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Shares), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(a), without interest, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

(b) The Company shall provide Parent with prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal (including copies of such written demands), withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments received by the Company from holders of Shares relating to rights of appraisal, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.

Section 2.5. Surrender of Shares.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the

-4-

aggregate Merger Consideration, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to timely make all payments contemplated in Section 2.5(b). Such cash may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided (i) that such investments must be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (ii) no such investment will relieve Parent, Merger Sub, or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this ARTICLE II, and (iii) no such investment will have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs. No loss incurred with respect to such investments will decrease the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the amount of cash held by the Paying Agent is insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make all such payment pursuant to Section 2.5(b). The aggregate Merger Consideration as so deposited with the Paying Agent will not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 2.5(b), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Any portion of the cash made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or a book-entry share (“Book-Entry Share”), which represented outstanding Shares of Class A Common Stock that were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, (i) a letter of transmittal in form reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificate to the Paying Agent or, with respect to Book-Entry Shares, only upon adherence with the procedures set forth in such letter of transmittal) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered will be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.5(b), each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and will not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(c) At any time following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent may require the Paying Agent to deliver to Parent any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that have been made available to the Paying Agent and that have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Parent shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (“Person”) previously entitled thereto. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the

-5-

Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any funds delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws.

(d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company or if payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, a check or wire transfer for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may, in the reasonable discretion of the Paying Agent, be issued to such transferee or other Person if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or, to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent, are not applicable. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation will be closed, and no subsequent transfers of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be registered. After the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this ARTICLE II.

(f) In the event that any Certificate has been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the holder’s delivery of an affidavit of loss to the Paying Agent (and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be reasonably required by Parent or the Paying Agent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate.

Section 2.6. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take all necessary and appropriate action to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the related rules and regulations thereunder, the disposition of Shares and Company Equity Awards in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company and cause such disposition to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 2.7. Withholding. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Paying Agent is entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld therefrom under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the Treasury Regulations thereunder, or any other Tax Law. Any compensatory amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 2.2, will be remitted to the applicable payor for payment to the applicable Person through regular payroll procedures, as applicable. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

Section 2.8. Transfer Taxes. If any payment of Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (a) such Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered must be properly endorsed or must otherwise be in proper form and (b) the Person presenting such Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Paying Agent for payment must pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or must establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not required to be paid. Parent shall pay any other transfer Taxes.

-6-

Section 2.9. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time shall have been changed into a different number of Shares or securities or a different class as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding the Exchange and any other exchange of LLC Units or Shares of Class B Common Stock made pursuant to the LLC Agreement), the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to provide the holders thereof the same economic effect contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.9 shall be construed to permit the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.1. Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a legal entity validly existing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and is in good standing (to the extent that such concept is recognized in the relevant jurisdiction) under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization, with all corporate or similar power and authority necessary to own or lease its property and conduct its business as currently conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign entity authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or held under lease by it or the nature of the business transacted by it makes such qualification necessary, except as has not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. “Material Adverse Effect” means any circumstance, fact, change, effect, event, development, inaccuracy, occurrence, or other matter that (a) has a material adverse effect on the business, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, operations, or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (b) prevents, or materially impairs or delays, the consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that, solely with respect to the foregoing clause (a), any circumstances, facts, changes, effects, events, developments, inaccuracies, occurrences, or other matters resulting from any of the following will not be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect and will be disregarded in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred: (i) matters generally affecting the U.S. or foreign economies, financial or securities markets, or political, legislative, or regulatory conditions, or the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, except to the extent such matters have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the impact on other companies in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate; (ii) the negotiation, execution, announcement, or pendency of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) any change in the market price or trading volume of the Shares; provided that this exception will not preclude a determination that a matter underlying such change has resulted in or contributed to a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) acts of war or terrorism (or the escalation of the foregoing) or natural disasters, except to the extent such matters have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the impact on other companies in the industry or

-7-

territory in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate; (v) changes in Laws, regulations, or accounting principles, or interpretations thereof, except to the extent such changes have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to the impact on other companies in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate; (vi) the performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including compliance with covenants set forth herein, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Company at the request of Parent (but excluding any actions taken by the Company that would result in a breach of Section 3.5); (vii) the initiation or settlement of any legal proceedings commenced by any Governmental Entity or which otherwise involves any Governmental Entity, in each case in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; or (viii) any failure by the Company to meet any internal or analyst projections or forecasts or estimates of revenues, earnings, or other financial metrics for any period; provided that this exception will not preclude a determination that a matter underlying such failure has resulted in or contributed to a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and the Subsidiaries have not in any such FDD made any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as has not had and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each FDD was prepared and maintained in compliance in all material respects with applicable Law (including the FTC Rule) and the NASAA’s 2008 Franchise Registration and Disclosure Guidelines (the “NASAA Guidelines”).

There are no material agreements or special arrangements with any Franchisees that are prohibited by such Franchisee’s Franchise Agreement or not disclosed in accordance with applicable Law (including the FTC Rule) and the NASAA Guidelines in the relevant FDDs.

(h) The Company and its Subsidiaries have received no written, or to the knowledge of the Company, oral notice from any Franchisee setting forth any grounds for dispute with respect to any Franchise Agreement, and, to the knowledge of Company, there is no reasonable basis for any such dispute.

The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers and employees to, and shall instruct its and its Subsidiaries respective other Representatives to, immediately cease any solicitation, discussions, or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub, or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and, to the extent the Company has the right to do so, shall promptly request the return or destruction of all confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to any such Person and its Representatives. The Company shall also promptly terminate such Person’s and its Representatives’ access to any data room relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal containing any such information. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.3, the Company and its Representatives may in any event (A) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any unsolicited inquiry or proposal made by any Person solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes a bona fide Acquisition Proposal and (B) inform a Person that has made or, to the knowledge of the Company, is considering making an Acquisition Proposal of the provisions of this Section 5.3; provided, however, that any communication contemplated by the foregoing sentence shall be solely limited to the matters contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) and (B). Any action taken or failed to be taken by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives that provided services to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby which, if taken or failed to be taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3(a) shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.3(a) by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, (i) the Company has received a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.3(a) and (ii) the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, as applicable, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to or result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that (x) the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and shall instruct its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives not to, disclose any non-public information to such Person unless the Company entered into a confidentiality agreement with such Person prior to the date hereof or first enters into a confidentiality agreement with such Person on terms that, taken as a whole, are not less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality agreement need not contain any standstill provisions) (any such confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) and (y) the Company shall provide or make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries promptly after such information is provided or made available to such Person but only to the extent such information was not previously provided or made available to Parent. The Company agrees that it and its Affiliates will not enter into any agreement with any Person following the date hereof (including any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) which prevents the Company from complying with, or otherwise restricts or interferes with the Company’s ability to comply with, its obligations under this Section 5.3.

-34-

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent (orally or in writing) of the receipt by the Company of (i) any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any written indication by any Person that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any bona fide offer, proposal or inquiry (whether written or oral) that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide Parent promptly (and in any event by the end of such forty-eight (48) hour period) the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, indication, offer, proposal or inquiry and the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, offer or proposal or, if not in writing, a written description of the material terms thereof). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably prompt basis as to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication, offer, proposal or inquiry.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, none of the Company Board or any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or any other agreement (including any joint venture agreement, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement) (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (ii) make a Change of Board Recommendation or (iii) resolve, publicly propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.3(d) or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained:

(i) the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(b) to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal if (A) the Company receives a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 5.3(a) that the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, as applicable, constitutes a Superior Proposal; (B) the Company delivers to Parent a Determination Notice notifying Parent that it intends to take such action; (C) during the Notice Period, the Company has, and has caused its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (to the extent Parent requests) to consider amendments or modifications to this Agreement; (D) in the event of any change to the financial terms or the other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall have delivered an additional Determination Notice; and (E) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after taking into consideration the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period and after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, as applicable, that the Acquisition Proposal that is subject of the Determination Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(ii) The Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may make a Change of Board Recommendation if (A) the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that did not directly result from a material breach of Section 5.3(a) and the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, as applicable, constitutes a Superior Proposal; (B) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation; (C) during the Notice Period, the Company has, and has instructed its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (to the extent Parent requests) to consider amendments or modifications to this Agreement; (D) in the event of any change to the financial terms or the other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the

-35-

Company shall have delivered an additional Determination Notice; and (E) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after taking into consideration the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period and after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, as applicable, that the Acquisition Proposal that is subject of the Determination Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(iii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may make a Change of Board Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if (A) the Company delivers to Parent a Determination Notice notifying Parent that it intends to make a Change of Board Recommendation; (B) during the Notice Period, the Company has, and has instructed its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives (to the extent Parent requests) to consider amendments or modifications to this Agreement; and (C) no earlier than the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after taking into consideration the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement that Parent has irrevocably committed to make during the Notice Period and after consultation with the Company’s or the Special Committee’s outside legal counsel, as applicable, that the failure to effect a Change of Board Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement prohibits (i) the Company Board or a committee thereof from (A) taking and disclosing to the holders of Shares a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (B) making any public statement if the Company Board or a committee thereof determines that the failure to make such statement would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or (ii) the Company or the Company Board from making any disclosure required under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that this Section 5.3(f) shall not be construed to exclude such communications from the definition of “Change of Board Recommendation”.

(ii) “Beneficial Owner” with respect to any Shares has the meaning ascribed to such term under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (and the term “beneficially owned” or “owns beneficially” has a corresponding meaning).

(iii) “Change of Board Recommendation” means (A) the change, withdrawal, modification, withholding or qualification of the Company Board Recommendation by the Company Board or any committee thereof (including the Special Committee), (B) the failure by the Company, within ten (10) Business Days of the public announcement of the commencement of a tender or exchange offer for Shares that constitutes an

-36-

Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) by a Person other than Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, to file a Schedule 14D-9 pursuant to Rule 14e-2 and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act recommending that the holders of the Shares reject such Acquisition Proposal and not tender any Shares into such tender or exchange offer, (C) the failure by the Company Board or any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) to publically reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a written request from Parent to provide such public reaffirmation following receipt by the Company of a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal; provided; however, that Parent may deliver only one (1) such request with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, further, that in the event of any change to the financial terms or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, Parent may make one (1) such request with respect to any changed Acquisition Proposal, (D) the adoption, approval or recommendation to the Company’s stockholders of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) by the Company Board or any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) or (E) any public announcement of any intent to take any of the foregoing actions.

Section 5.4. Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Parent shall, and cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time, maintain for each individual employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time (each, a “Current Employee”) (i) each of base compensation and a target annual cash incentive compensation opportunity at least as favorable as that provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) benefits that are at least as favorable in the aggregate as the benefits maintained for and provided to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) severance benefits that are at least as favorable as the severance benefits provided by the Company to the Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to honor and assume all severance obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of any existing employment agreements and offer letters with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, and any other agreements or arrangements, disclosed in Section 5.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause service rendered by Current Employees to the Company and its Subsidiaries, prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account for all purposes under employee benefit plans of Parent or its Affiliates (the “Parent Plans”), the Surviving Corporation, and its Subsidiaries, to the same extent as such service was taken into account under the corresponding Company Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to benefits under a defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not, and to cause the Surviving Corporation to not, subject Current Employees to any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements or pre-existing condition limitations under any Parent Plans or employee benefits plans of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries for any condition for which they would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Company Plan in which they participated prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Current Employee to be given credit under the Parent Plans that are group health plans for any eligible expenses incurred by such Current Employees and their covered dependents under a Company Plan during the portion of the year prior to the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying all co-payment, co-insurance, deductibles, maximum out-of-pocket requirements, and other out-of-pocket expenses applicable to such Current Employees and their covered dependents in respect of the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs. Unless Parent, Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries are required under applicable Law to make a payment in settlement of vacation time of a Current Employee, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to credit to each Current Employee the amount of vacation time that such employee had accrued under any applicable Company Plan or under applicable Law as of the date of Closing.

(d) Unless otherwise notified by Parent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take all actions that are necessary or appropriate to deliver to Parent written resolutions duly adopted and authorizing, contingent on the consummation of the Merger, the termination of each Company Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 8.5, no provision of this Agreement (i) constitutes the establishment or adoption of, or amendment to, any Company Plan or employee benefit plan, (ii) creates any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any current or former employee, director, officer or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to this Section 5.4, or (iii) creates any rights to continued employment with the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any other Person or in any way limits the ability of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate the employment of any individual at any time or for any reason.

-38-

Section 5.5. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from liabilities of present and former directors, officers, and employees of the Company than are currently provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which provisions may not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and in the event that any Proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the disposition of any such Proceeding or claim, unless such amendment, modification, or repeal is required by applicable Law, in which case Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make such changes to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as to have the least adverse effect on the rights of the individuals referenced in this Section 5.5.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) or former director or officer of the Company (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors, or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), against all obligations to pay a judgment, settlement, or penalty, and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission occurring prior to or at the Effective Time, including any action or omission in connection with the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or of another entity if such service was at the request of the Company, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at, or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent the Surviving Corporation would be permitted under the DGCL. In the event of any such Proceeding, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall advance to each Indemnified Party reasonable expenses incurred in the defense of the Proceeding (provided that any Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced shall have provided, to the extent required by the DGCL, an undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company does not purchase prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase at or after the Effective Time, a tail policy with respect to the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (“D&O Insurance”) maintained as of the date hereof by the Company, which tail policy (i) will be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time, (ii) will contain coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage provided by such existing policies and (iii) may be obtained from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the insurance carrier of such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided that the Company shall not, and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation to, purchase any such policy to the extent the premium for such tail policy exceeds three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company with respect to the D&O Insurance prior to the date hereof. Parent shall cause such tail policy to be maintained in full force and effect for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations under this Section 5.5, the Surviving Corporation shall keep each of the indemnification agreements set forth in Section 5.5(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Company has provided Parent true, correct and complete copies of each such agreement, or such agreement has been filed with the SEC and is publicly available on or prior to the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof.

(e) This Section 5.5 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and is enforceable by, any Person referred to in this Section 5.5. The indemnification and advancement provided for in

-39-

this Section 5.5 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Party is entitled whether pursuant to Law, contract, or otherwise. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity resulting from such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall make proper provision such that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

Section 5.6. Further Action; Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, each party shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement by or before the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree to, or to cause their ultimate parent entity (as such term is defined in the HSR Act) to, (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Merger as promptly as practicable and in any event prior to the expiration of any applicable legal deadline (provided that the filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act must be made within ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Agreement), and (ii) to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law. The parties shall also consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of such party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto agree to (A) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Entity relating to any Antitrust Laws, (B) give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, (C) to the extent practicable, to give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Entity relating to any Antitrust Laws, (D) if any Governmental Entity initiates a substantive oral communication regarding any Antitrust Laws, promptly notify the other party of the substance of such communication, (E) provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals) with a Governmental Entity regarding any Antitrust Laws, and (F) provide each other with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Entity relating to any Antitrust Laws. Any such disclosures or provision of copies by one party to the other may be made on an outside counsel basis, if appropriate.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, take any and all actions necessary to obtain any consents, clearances, or approvals required under or in connection with the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign Law, regulation, or decree designed to prohibit, restrict, or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or significant impediment of effective competition (collectively “Antitrust Laws”) to enable all waiting periods under applicable Antitrust Laws to expire, and to avoid or eliminate impediments under applicable Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Entity, in each case, to cause the Merger to occur prior to the Outside Date, including (1) promptly complying with any requests for additional information (including any second request) by any Governmental Entity and (2) if necessary to obtain clearance by any Governmental Entity before the Outside Date, contesting, defending or appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or Law that would prohibit or otherwise prevent consummation of the Merger; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall not, take, agree or offer to take or commit to offer, negotiate, commit to, or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, any sale, divestiture, license, or other disposition of any or all of the capital stock, assets, equity holdings, rights, products, or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), and any other restrictions on the activities of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its

-40-

Subsidiaries) or any restriction on Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) ability to conduct their business. Furthermore, Parent shall not take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not take, any action or omit to take any action that would be reasonably likely to delay clearance by any Governmental Entity beyond the Outside Date. Parent shall bear the expenses and costs incurred by the parties in connection with any filings or other such actions which may be required by such party to obtain clearance under any Antitrust Law for the consummation of the Merger, in each case, after the initial filing in each jurisdiction.

(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity challenging the Merger and, the Company shall cooperate in all respects with Parent and shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction, decision, or other order, whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Merger.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, approvals, or waivers of third parties with respect to any Contracts to which it is a party as may be necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or required by the terms of any Contract as a result of the execution, performance, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that in no event will Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty, or other consideration or make any other accommodation to any third party to obtain any consent, approval, or waiver required with respect to any such Contract.

Section 5.7. Proxy Statement; Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and, in any event, within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter), a proxy statement, in preliminary form, relating to the Company Stockholders Meeting (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (other than with respect to any information furnished or caused to be furnished by Parent relating to Parent and its Affiliates to be set forth in the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto)). The fees and expenses incurred in connection with the filing, printing and mailing of the Proxy Statement shall be paid by the Company. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent will use reasonable best efforts to furnish or cause to be furnished to the Company the information relating to Parent and its Affiliates to be set forth in the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Company, Parent and Merger Sub will cooperate with one another in the preparation of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not file the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) without first providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments thereon, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the Company. Each of the Company and Parent agree to correct any information provided by it for inclusion in the Proxy Statement that, to its knowledge, was when provided, or shall have become, materially false or misleading.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the receipt of all comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and provide Parent with copies thereof or, if provided orally, a reasonably detailed description thereof. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on the Proxy Statement from the SEC, but not without first providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments thereon, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the Company. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of Shares promptly after the resolution of any comments thereon from the SEC or, if the SEC does not inform the

-41-

Company that it intends to review the Proxy Statement on or before the tenth (10th) calendar day following the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement, promptly following such tenth (10th) calendar day.

(c) The Company shall cause the Company Stockholders Meeting to be duly called and held as promptly as reasonably practicable after the definitive Proxy Statement is mailed to the holders of Shares (and, in any event, within forty (40) days of such mailing, but subject to any extension of such date for any adjournment or postponement made pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 5.7(c)), for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, regardless of whether the Company Board or any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) has effected a Change of Board Recommendation.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein.

delivered to the chairman of the board or the president. The chairman of the board or the president, as the case may be, shall fix a date, time and place for the meeting as promptly as practicable following receipt of the written request.

2.3 REMOTE COMMUNICATION

The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a stockholders meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication. Further, the board of directors may, in its sole discretion, authorize stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders to, by means of remote communication and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of directors may adopt: (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders and (b) 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. If the board of directors authorizes a meeting solely by remote communication or authorizes presence, participation and voting at a meeting by means of remote communication, the corporation must (i) implement 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 proxyholder, (ii) implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders 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 (iii) maintain a record of any vote or other action taken at the meeting by means of remote communication by any stockholder or proxyholder.

2.4 NOTICE OF MEETINGS

Except as provided in Section 230 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware GCL”), written or printed notice of each annual or special meeting of the stockholders shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice (i) shall state the place, if any, date, time, means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders 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, (ii) shall be given not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, and (iii) shall be given in a manner provided by and subject to Article 9 of these bylaws.

The list must be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of the stockholder. Electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information need not be included on the list. The list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall 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 shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

2.6 QUORUM

The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite for, and shall constitute, a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders of

C-2

the corporation for the transaction of business, except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. If, however, a separate vote by class or series is required with respect to any matter, the holders of a majority of the shares of such class or series, as the case may be, shall constitute a quorum (as to such class or series) with respect to the matter. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present or represented.

2.7 ADJOURNED MEETINGS

When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if its time and place, if any, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at the adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

2.8 VOTE REQUIRED

Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, or these bylaws, when a quorum is present at a meeting: (a) the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders; and (b) where a separate vote by class or series is required, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series present in person or represented by proxy shall be the act of such class or series.

2.9 PROXIES

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. No proxy may be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary. No shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize a proxy, the following shall constitute valid means of doing so:

(a) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person to act for the stockholder as proxy. Either the stockholder or the stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent may sign the writing. Alternatively, such person may cause his or her signature to be affixed to the writing by any reasonable means, including facsimile signature.

(b) A stockholder may authorize another person to act for the stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission. Any such transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the stockholder authorized the transmission. If it is determined that the transmission is valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information upon which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of such writing or transmission may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for all purposes for which the original writing

C-3

or transmission could be used, provided that the reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

2.10 VOTING OF CERTAIN SHARES

With respect to shares entitled to vote:

(a) Shares standing in the name of another corporation or other entity, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the (i) bylaws or other governing document of such corporation or entity may prescribe or, (ii) in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation or entity may determine.

(b) Shares held in a fiduciary capacity may be voted by the fiduciary.

(c) Shares standing in the name of a trustee, receiver or pledgee may be voted by such trustee, receiver or pledgee either in person or by proxy as provided by statute.

If the shares stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the secretary of the corporation is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing such persons or creating the relationship, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:

if only one votes, the voter’s act binds all;

(d) if more than one vote, the act of the majority so voting binds all;

(e) if more than one vote, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionately unless otherwise ordered by a court having jurisdiction.

If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even split shall be a majority or even split in interest.

2.11 ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

(a) Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken by written consent without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, as follows:

(i) The holders of outstanding capital stock of the corporation having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted must sign and date the written consent setting forth the action so taken. Consents may be executed in counterparts.

(ii) The consent(s) must be delivered to the corporation’s registered office in Delaware, to its principal place of business, or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book(s) in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the registered office must be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and will be deemed delivered upon actual receipt by the registered office.

(b) All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded.

C-4

(c) A stockholder or proxyholder may consent to action by means of a telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission. The stockholder, the proxyholder or a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder must transmit the consent. The consent shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated if the transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (i) that the transmission was transmitted by the stockholder, proxyholder or authorized person(s), and (ii) the date on which it was transmitted. The date on which the transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which the consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until it is reproduced in a paper form and delivered in accordance with Section 2.11(a), provided, however, that it may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by the board of directors.

(d) Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that the reproduction is of the entire original writing.

(e) 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 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 holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation as provided above.

2.12 TREASURY STOCK

Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by such corporation, shall not be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation may vote shares of its own stock that it holds in a fiduciary capacity.

ARTICLE 3

DIRECTORS

3.1 NUMBER, ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE

The board of directors shall consist of not less than one nor more than five members, which number shall be fixed from time to time by action of the board of directors or the stockholders. The initial board of directors shall consist of one director. Except as provided in Sections 3.3 and 3.4, the directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the board of directors votes to require a written ballot. If the election is to be by written ballot, then, if the board of directors authorizes it, a ballot submitted by electronic transmission may satisfy the requirement of a written ballot. Any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the corporation can determine that it was authorized by the stockholder or proxyholder. The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election of directors. Each director shall hold office until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal as hereinafter provided.

3.2 MANAGEMENT OF AFFAIRS OF CORPORATION

The property and business of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors may exercise all such powers of the corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not reserved exclusively to the stockholders by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

C-5

3.3 RESIGNATIONS AND VACANCIES

Any director may resign at any time by giving notice to the board of directors, the chairman of the board or the president in writing or by electronic transmission. Any such resignation shall take effect on the date of the receipt of the notice or at any later time specified in the notice. Acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. If, at any time other than the annual meeting of the stockholders, any vacancy occurs in the board of directors or any new directorship is created by an increase in the authorized number of directors, a majority of the directors then in office (even if less than a quorum) may choose a successor or fill the newly created directorship. Unless removed sooner, the director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of directors by the stockholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Whenever the certificate of incorporation entitles holders of any class or series of stock to elect one or more directors, vacancies and newly created directorships of such class or series may be filled by a majority of the directors elected by such class or series then in office, or by a sole remaining director so elected.

3.4 REMOVAL AND VACANCIES

Any director or the entire board of directors may be removed by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors except as follows: (a) if the stockholders are entitled to exercise cumulative voting rights, then no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors, and (b) if there are classes of directors, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause. The successor to any director so removed may be elected at the meeting at which the removal was effectuated. The remaining directors may fill any remaining vacancies created by the removal. Whenever the holders of any class or series are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal without cause of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class or series and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

3.5 ANNUAL AND REGULAR MEETINGS

The annual meeting of the board of directors shall be held, without other notice than this bylaw, immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the stockholders. Regular meetings of the board of directors, other than the annual meeting, may be held at such time and at such place as the board may from time to time fix by resolution and no notice (other than the resolution) need be given as to any regular meeting.

3.6 SPECIAL MEETINGS

Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by the chairman of the board or the president and shall be called by the secretary at the request of any director, to be held at such time and place, either within or outside Delaware, as shall be designated by the call and specified in the notice of such meeting.

3.7 NOTICE OF MEETINGS

Notice of special meetings of the board of directors shall be provided to each director pursuant to Article 9 of these bylaws. If such notice is mailed, it shall be deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, at least three days before such meeting. If such notice is given by overnight courier, it shall be given to the overnight courier service for delivery at least two days before such meeting. If such notice is given personally or by electronic transmission, it shall be delivered or transmitted at least 24 hours before the time of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law or these bylaws, meetings may be held at any time without notice if all of the directors are present or if, at any time before or after the meeting, those not present waive notice of the meeting in writing.

3.8 QUORUM REQUIRED, VOTE AND ADJOURNMENT

Except as otherwise provided by law or these bylaws: (a) at each meeting of the board of directors, the presence of not less than a majority of the whole board shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; and (b) the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of directors, the directors present may adjourn the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

3.9 COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any member of the board of directors or of any committee designated by the board may participate in a meeting of the directors or committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by means of such equipment shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

3.10 PRESUMPTION OF ASSENT

Unless applicable law provides otherwise, a director of the corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action is taken on any corporate matter shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) the director’s dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (b) the director files a written dissent to the action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or forwards the dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of any action.

3.11 ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board or of such committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or electronic transmission is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. The filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

3.12 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The board of directors may designate one or more directors of the corporation to constitute an executive committee, which, to the extent provided in the resolution and except as otherwise provided by law, 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.

3.13 OTHER COMMITTEES

The board of directors may designate other committees consisting of one or more directors. Each member of a committee shall serve for such term and the committee shall have and may exercise such duties, functions and powers as these bylaws and the board of directors may provide, except as otherwise restricted by law.

3.14 ALTERNATES

The board of directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee to replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of

C-7

a member of a committee, the members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in place of the absent or disqualified member.

3.15 QUORUM AND MANNER OF ACTING—COMMITTEES

The presence of a majority of members of any committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of such committee, and the act of a majority of those present shall be necessary for the taking of any action at the meeting.

3.16 COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN, BOOKS AND RECORDS, ETC.

The chairman of each committee shall be selected by the board of directors from among the members of the committee. Each committee shall fix its own rules of procedure not inconsistent with these bylaws or the resolution of the board of directors designating the committee. Each committee shall meet at such times and places and upon such call or notice as shall be provided by such rules. Each committee shall keep a record of its actions and proceedings and shall report on them to the board of directors at the board’s next meeting.

3.17 FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as such, but by resolution of the board of directors a fixed fee, with or without expenses of attendance, may be allowed for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the board. Members of the board shall be allowed their reasonable traveling expenses when actually engaged in the business of the corporation. Members of any committee may be allowed like fees and expenses for attending committee meetings. Nothing in these bylaws shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

3.18 RELIANCE UPON RECORDS

Every director of the corporation, or member of any committee designated by the board of directors, shall, in the performance of such director’s duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the corporation by any of the corporation’s officers or employees, or committees of the board of directors, or by any other person as to matters the director reasonably believes are within such other person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation.

3.19 DIVIDENDS AND RESERVES

Except as otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors may declare dividends upon stock of the corporation at any regular or special meeting. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, in shares of stock or otherwise in the form, and to the extent, permitted by law. The board of directors may set apart, out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends, a reserve or reserves for working capital or for any other lawful purpose, and also may abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

4.10 ASSISTANT TREASURERS AND ASSISTANT SECRETARIES

4.11 SALARIES

The salaries of the officers shall be fixed from time to time by the board of directors, by such officer as it shall designate for such purpose or as it shall otherwise direct.

ARTICLE 7

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK AND THEIR TRANSFER

7.1 CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

The certificates of stock of the corporation shall be in a form approved by the board of directors, shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of the corporation as they are issued. They shall exhibit the holder’s name and number of shares and shall be signed by the chairman of the board, the president or a vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary. If any stock certificate is signed (a) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or (b) by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the corporation and a registrar, the signature of any officer of the corporation may be facsimile. In case any officer whose facsimile signature has thus been used on any such certificate shall cease to be such officer before the certificate has been issued, the certificate may nevertheless be issued with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the date of issue. All certificates properly surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be cancelled and, except as set forth in Section 7.2 below, no new certificate shall be issued to evidence transferred shares until the former certificate for at least a like number of shares has been surrendered and cancelled and the corporation reimbursed for any applicable taxes on the transfer.

7.2 LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES

The corporation may direct a new certificate or uncertificated shares to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and may also require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate or the issuance of a new certificate or uncertificated shares.

7.3 TRANSFERS OF STOCK

Transfers of shares of stock shall be made only on the books of the corporation by the registered holder thereof or by its attorney or successor duly authorized as evidenced by documents filed with the secretary or transfer agent of the corporation. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, and in compliance with any restrictions on transfer of which the corporation has notice applicable to the certificate or shares represented thereby, the corporation shall issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. The board of directors may adopt such additional rules and regulations as it deems advisable concerning the transfer and registration of certificates of stock of the corporation.

7.4 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

Any stockholder may enter into an agreement with other stockholders or with the corporation providing for any reasonable restriction on the right of such stockholder to transfer shares of stock of the corporation held by such stockholder. If such restriction is set forth conspicuously on the certificates representing the shares or, in the case of uncertificated shares, is contained in a notice sent pursuant to Section 151(f) of the Delaware GCL, the corporation or the transfer agent shall not be required to transfer such shares upon the books of the corporation without receipt of satisfactory evidence of compliance with the terms of such restriction.

C-12

7.5 FIXING RECORD DATE

(a) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, 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 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 no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or 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. 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 the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, 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 by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office, 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. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(c) 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 be not 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.

7.6 STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD

The corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any shares of stock as the holder in fact of such shares. Accordingly, the corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it has express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by Delaware law.

ARTICLE 8

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 IN GENERAL

The corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnitee”) who was or is made, or is threatened to be made, a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or

C-13

she is the legal representative, is or was a director or an officer of the corporation or, while a director or an officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, member, trustee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, nonprofit entity or other enterprise (including, but not limited to, service with respect to employee benefit plans) (any such entity, an “Other Entity”), against all liability and loss suffered (including, but not limited to, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation or the Proceeding (or part thereof) relates to the enforcement of the corporation’s obligations under this Section 8.1.

8.2 ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

The corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay, on an as-incurred basis, all expenses (including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition. Such advancement shall be unconditional, unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay any expenses advanced; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an unsecured undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8 or otherwise.

8.3 CLAIMS

If a claim for indemnification (following the final disposition of such proceeding) or advancement of expenses under this Section 8 is not paid in full within sixty days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the corporation, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any such action the corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses under applicable law.

8.4 INSURANCE

The corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, trustee, employee, member, trustee or agent of the corporation, or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of an Other Entity, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 8 or the Delaware GCL.

8.5 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS

The rights conferred on any Indemnitee by this Section 8 are not exclusive of other rights arising under any bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such Indemnitee.

8.6 AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM AN OTHER ENTITY

Subject to Section 8.7, the corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Indemnitee who was or is serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of an Other Entity shall be reduced by any amount such Indemnitee may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such Other Entity.

C-14

8.7 INDEMNIFICATION PRIORITY

As between the corporation and any other person (other than an entity directly or indirectly controlled by the corporation) who provides indemnification to the Indemnitees for their service to, or on behalf of, the corporation (collectively, the “Secondary Indemnitors”) (i) the corporation shall be the full indemnitor of first resort in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 8, irrespective of any right of indemnification, advancement of expenses or other right of recovery any Indemnitee may have from any Secondary Indemnitor or any right to insurance coverage that Indemnitee may have under any insurance policy issued to any Secondary Indemnitor (i.e., the corporation’s obligations to such Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of any Secondary Indemnitor, or any insurer of any Secondary Indemnitor, to advance expenses or to provide indemnification or insurance coverage for the same loss or liability incurred by such Indemnitees is secondary to the corporation’s obligations), (ii) the corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all liability and loss suffered by such Indemnitee (including, but not limited to, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding), without regard to any rights any such Indemnitee may have against any Secondary Indemnitor or against any insurance carrier providing insurance coverage to Indemnitee under any insurance policy issued to a Secondary Indemnitor, and (iii) the corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each Secondary Indemnitor from any and all claims against such Secondary Indemnitor for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The corporation shall indemnify each Secondary Indemnitor directly for any amounts that such Secondary Indemnitor pays as indemnification or advancement on behalf of any such Indemnitee and for which such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification from the corporation in connection with Jointly Indemnifiable Claims. No right of indemnification, advancement of expenses or other right of recovery that an Indemnitee may have from any Secondary Indemnitor shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the Indemnitee or the obligations of the corporation hereunder. No advancement or payment by any Secondary Indemnitor on behalf of any such Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Secondary Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the corporation. Each Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure the rights of such Indemnitee’s Secondary Indemnitors under this Section 8.7, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Secondary Indemnitors effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights, including in the right of the corporation. Each of the Secondary Indemnitors shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 8.7, entitled to enforce this Section 8.7. As used in this Section 8.7, the term “Jointly Indemnifiable Claims” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit, proceeding or other matter for which an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification, reimbursement, advancement of expenses or insurance coverage from both a Secondary Indemnitor (or an insurance carrier providing insurance coverage to any Secondary Indemnitor) and the corporation, whether pursuant to Delaware law (or other applicable law in the case of any Secondary Indemnitor), any agreement or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or other organizational or governing documents of the corporation or the Secondary Indemnitors or any insurance policy providing insurance coverage to any Secondary Indemnitor, as applicable.

8.8 AMENDMENT OR REPEAL

Any right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses of any Indemnitee arising hereunder shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal of this Section 8 after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, proceeding or other matter for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought.

C-15

8.9 OTHER INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

This Section 8 shall not limit the right of the corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

8.10 RELIANCE

Indemnitees who after the date of the adoption of this Section 8 become or remain an Indemnitee described in Section 8.1 will be conclusively presumed to have relied on the rights to indemnity, advancement of expenses and other rights contained in this Section 8 in entering into or continuing the service. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 8 will apply to claims made against any Indemnitee described in Section 8.1 arising out of acts or omissions that occurred or occur either before or after the adoption of this Section 8 in respect of service as a director or officer of the corporation or other service described in Section 8.1.

8.11 SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE

In the event that any proceeding to which an Indemnitee is a party is resolved in any manner other than by adverse judgment against the Indemnitee (including, without limitation, settlement of such proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration) it shall be presumed that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in such proceeding for purposes of Section 145(c) of the Delaware GCL. Anyone seeking to overcome this presumption shall have the burden of proof and the burden of persuasion by clear and convincing evidence.

ARTICLE 9

NOTICE

9.1 MANNER OF NOTICE

Whenever under law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, director or member of any committee of the board of directors, it shall not be construed to require personal delivery. Such notice also may be given in writing by depositing it in the United States mail (postage prepaid), by express overnight courier, or by facsimile or other electronic transmission. For purposes of these bylaws, “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 the recipient through an automated process.

9.2 NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

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

9.3 EFFECTIVENESS OF NOTICE

Notice given by mail shall be deemed to be given at the time it is deposited in the United States mail. Notice given by overnight courier service shall be deemed to be given when delivered to the overnight courier service for

C-16

delivery. Notice given by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed given: (a) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at recipient has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the recipient has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the recipient of such specific posting, upon the later of (i) such posting and (ii) the giving of such separate notice; and (d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the recipient. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The requirement for notice shall be deemed satisfied, except in the case of a stockholder meeting with respect to which written notice is required by law, if actual notice is received orally or in writing by the person entitled thereto as far in advance of the event with respect to which notice is given as the minimum notice period required by law or these bylaws.

9.4 WAIVER OF NOTICE

Whenever under law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws notice is required to be given, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before, at or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a person at a meeting shall 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 regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors or committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission, unless so required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

ARTICLE 10

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 FISCAL YEAR

10.4 AMENDMENTS

These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or by proxy at any annual meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, or at any special meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, if notice of the proposed alteration, amendment or repeal is contained in the notice of such special meeting.
