(f) The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of the stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. The chairman of the Board of Directors, or any officer of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors to do so, will call meetings of stockholders to order and shall preside as chairman of the meeting at all meetings of the stockholders. Except to the extent inconsistent with these By-Laws or such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe and enforce such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary or appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting and the safety of those in attendance.

By-Laws, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the Corporation and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee. The information required under this Section 4(h)(i)(B) shall be supplemented and updated by such Proposing Person as described under Section 4(h)(iii)(E).

(C) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of Section 4(h)(i)(B) of these By-Laws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this By-Law shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to or received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which the public announcement of the increase is first made by the Corporation.

(D) For purposes of these By-Laws, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (a) the stockholder providing the notice of nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting of stockholders, (b) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting is made, (c) any affiliate or associate (each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for purposes of these By-Laws) of such stockholder or beneficial owners and (d) any other person with whom such stockholder or beneficial owner (or any of their respective affiliates or associates) is acting in concert.

(ii) Special Meetings of Stockholders.

Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (b) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 4(h)(ii) and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 4(h) of these By-Laws as to such nomination. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section 4(h)(i)(B) of these By-Laws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 4(i) of these By-Laws) shall be delivered to or received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120^th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90^th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall any adjournment, recess or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(iii) General.

(A) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4(h) of these By-Laws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4(h) of these By-Laws. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4(h) of these By-Laws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with Section 4(h) of these By-Laws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these By-Laws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this By-Law; provided, however, that any references in these By-Laws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 4(h)(i)(A)(c) or Section 4(h)(ii) of these By-Laws. Nothing in this By-Law shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws.

(D) The Corporation may require any proposed stockholder nominee for director to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) making a nomination or proposal under this Section 4(h) does not appear at a meeting of stockholders to present such nomination or proposal, the nomination shall be disregarded and the proposed business shall not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in favor thereof may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 4(h), to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders.

on the first practicable date prior to any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof)).

(i) To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a director of the Corporation, a proposed nominee must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 4(h)(i)(B) of these By-Laws and applicable law) to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (a) a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire the Proposing Person shall request in writing from the secretary with at least 7 days’ prior notice); (b) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person (i) is not and will not become a party to (A) any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote in such capacity on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (B) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (ii) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether written or oral) with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director of the Corporation that has not been disclosed to the Corporation, (iii) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the Corporation, and will comply with all applicable law and all applicable rules of the U.S. exchanges upon which the common stock of the Corporation is listed and all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and other guidelines of the Corporation and (iv) (iv) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Corporation and its stockholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

Directors, or any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or of such committee, by means of conference telephone or other similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

(h) By resolution of the Board of Directors, any director may be paid any one or more of the following: his expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings; a fixed sum for attendance at meetings; or a stated salary as director.

To the extent provided in the resolution designating such committee, and to the extent permitted by law, each such committee shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Such committees shall include an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and any other committee of independent directors required by applicable securities laws, rules and regulations and applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or market on which the Corporation’s securities may be

listed or traded, and the functions, duties, responsibilities and director composition thereof shall be in accordance with such applicable laws, rules and regulations.

In the absence of the chief executive officer or in the event of his inability or refusal to act, the president shall perform the duties and discharge the responsibilities of the chief executive officer.

OFFICER PRO TEM

14. In the absence of any officer, the Board of Directors may delegate the powers and duties of such absent officer to any other officer or officers, or to any Director, for the time being.

STOCK

15. (a) The shares of the Corporation’s stock may be in either certificated or uncertificated form. Any shares represented by a certificate may not become uncertificated until the certificate therefore is surrendered to the Corporation, subject to the provisions of Section 15(d) hereof. Any certificates representing shares of stock shall be in such form as the Board of Directors shall from time to time approve, signed by or in the name of the Corporation by the president or any vice president and by the secretary or an assistant secretary, certifying the number of shares owned by the stockholder.

(b) Any or all the signatures on a certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is

issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

(c) A record of the name and address of each holder of certificated or uncertificated shares, the number of shares held, and the date of issue thereof, shall be made on the Corporation’s books. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof, and accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in any share on the part of any other person whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as required by the laws of Delaware.

(d) Any person claiming a stock certificate or uncertificated shares in lieu of a stock certificate lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed shall give the Corporation an affidavit as to his ownership of the certificate and of the facts as to its loss, theft, mutilation or destruction. He shall also, if required by the Board of Directors, give the Corporation a bond, in such form and amount as may be approved by the Board of Directors, sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss or theft of the certificate or the issuance of a new certificate. Upon production of any required evidence and indemnification, the Corporation may issue a new certificate or certificates of stock or provide for uncertificated shares in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

(e) The Corporation may maintain one or more transfer offices or agencies, each under the control of a transfer agent designated by the Board of Directors, where the shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable. The Corporation may also maintain one or more registry offices, each under the control of a registrar designated by the Board of Directors, wherein such shares of stock shall be registered.

(f) Transfer of shares shall, except as provided in Section 15(d) hereof, be made on the books of the Corporation only by direction of the holder, whether named in the certificate or on the books of the Corporation as a holder of uncertificated shares, or his attorney, lawfully constituted in writing, upon presentation of proper transfer instructions and proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the shares and, if held in certificate form, only upon the surrender for cancellation of the certificate therefor, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment of the shares evidenced thereby. Upon the surrender of any certificate for the transfer of stock, such certificate shall be marked “Cancelled” and filed with the stock records of the Corporation.

(g) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment or recess thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or 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, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action.

(h) [Intentionally Omitted]

(i) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, whenever action by stockholders is proposed to be taken by consent in writing without a meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may fix a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to consent to that action, which record date shall not precede, and 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. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders take action by consent in writing without a meeting of stockholders shall first request the Board of Directors to fix a record date, which request shall be in proper form and be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. Within (a) 10 days after the date on which such request is received by the secretary or (b) 5 days after delivery of any information requested by the Corporation to determine the validity of any such request or whether the action to which such request relates to an action that may be taken by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, the Board of Directors shall determine the validity of such request and whether such request relates to an action that may be taken by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting in accordance with this Section 15 and applicable law. If such request is valid, the Board of Directors may adopt a resolution fixing such record date. If (a) the request required by this Section 15(i) has been determined to be valid and to relate to an action that may be effected by written consent in accordance with this Section 15(i) and applicable law or (b) no such determination shall have been made by the date required by this Section 15(i), and in either event no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, 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 in a manner permitted by applicable law. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

(j) To be in proper form for purposes of Section 15(j) of these By-Laws, a request by a stockholder for the Board of Directors to fix a record date shall set forth the action proposed to be taken by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting and must contain such information and representations, to the extent applicable, required by the Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable, and the By-Laws of the Corporation as though such stockholder were intending to make a nomination or to bring a business proposal before a meeting of stockholders. In addition to the requirements of this Section 15(j), any stockholder seeking to take an action by written consent shall comply with all

requirements of applicable law, including all of the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15, upon receipt of a request by a stockholder to set a record date in order to have stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent, the Corporation may require the stockholder(s) submitting such request to furnish such other information as may be requested by the Corporation (a) to determine the validity of the request required by Section 15 and (b) to determine whether such request relates to an action that may be effected by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting under this Section 15 and applicable law.

(k) In connection with an action or actions proposed to be taken by written consent in accordance with this Section 15, the stockholder seeking such action shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to the Corporation in connection therewith, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 15 shall be true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders eligible to take such action and as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the date the consent solicitation is commenced, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders eligible to take such action (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than three (3) business days prior to the date that the consent solicitation is commenced (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of five (5) business days prior to the commencement of the consent solicitation).

(l) Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall provide such stockholders with all information necessary to make an informed decision and, upon delivery of written consents to the Corporation, shall provide to the secretary reasonable evidence that it complied with the foregoing requirement in respect of such written consents. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required hereby to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery in a manner permitted by applicable law.

(m) A facsimile, electronic mail message, telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission (each an “electronic transmission”) consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes hereof if such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine: (a) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (b) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which

such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery in a manner permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the Corporation or to the secretary to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors.

(n) Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

(o) In the event of the delivery to the Corporation of a written consent or consents purporting to represent the requisite voting power to authorize or take corporate action and/or any related revocations, the secretary shall provide for the safekeeping of such consents and revocations. The secretary, or such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate, shall, as promptly as practicable, conduct a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and/or any related revocations deemed necessary and appropriate. If after such investigation, the secretary, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the inspectors, as the case may be, shall determine that the action purported to have been taken is duly authorized by the consents, that fact shall be certified on the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of shareholders and the consents shall be filed in such records. In conducting the investigation required by this Section 15(o), the secretary, such other officer of the Corporation as the Board of Directors may designate or the inspectors, as the case may be, may, at the expense of the Corporation, retain special legal counsel and any other necessary or appropriate professional advisors as such person or persons may deem necessary or appropriate and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the opinion of such counsel or advisors.

(p) No action by written consent without a meeting shall be effective until such date as the secretary, such other officer of the Corporation as designated by the Board of Directors or inspectors as appointed in accordance with Section 15(o), as applicable, completes their review, determines that the consents delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 15 represent not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and certifies such determination to the Board of Directors for entry in the records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders. If the Board of Directors determines that any request to fix a record date or to take stockholder action by written consent (a) was not properly made in accordance with this Section 1.15, or (b) relates to an action that may not be taken by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting pursuant to this Section 15 or applicable law, then no record date in

respect of a written consent shall be set and any such purported action by written consent shall be null and void to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(q) Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided herein.

(r) Any stockholder giving a written consent, or the stockholder’s proxyholder, may revoke the consent in any manner permitted by applicable law.

(s) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, (a) none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to any solicitation of stockholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and (b) the Board of Directors shall be entitled to solicit stockholder action by written consent in accordance with applicable law.

INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS

16. Except as otherwise provided by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, the directors shall determine from time to time whether, and, if allowed, when and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and the stockholders’ rights in this respect are and shall be restricted and limited accordingly.

ALTERATION AND AMENDMENT

17. The Board of Directors may by a majority vote of the whole Board, adopt, amend or repeal these By-Laws at any regular meeting or at any special meeting.

DEFERRED MEETINGS

18. If any meeting provided for in these By-Laws should fall upon a legal holiday, the same shall be held upon the next succeeding business day at the same hour and place.

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS: INSURANCE

19. (a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by

reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 19, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith without the necessity of any action being taken by the Corporation other than a determination in good faith that such defense has been successful. In all other cases, any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 19 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 19. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding; (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (3) by the stockholders.

(d) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption

that the person seeking indemnification did not act in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Entry of a judgment by consent as part of a settlement shall not be deemed a final adjudication of liability for negligence or misconduct in the performance of any duty, or of any other issue or matter.

(e) Expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Section 19. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

(f) The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 19 (i) shall be contract rights based upon good and valuable consideration, pursuant to which a person may bring suit as if the provisions of this Section 19 were set forth in a separate written contract between such person and the Corporation, (ii) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, (iii) shall be deemed to have fully vested at the time the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses first assumes his or her position as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, and (iv) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or modification of the provisions of this Section 19 shall be prospective only and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any person that are in effect hereunder with respect to any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of or relating to any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

(g) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Section 19.

(h) The provisions of this Section 19 shall be separable and the invalidity of all or any part thereof as applied to any particular type of liability or any particular person shall not preclude

application of any remaining portion thereof to such situation or such person, nor application of the provisions of this Section 19 to any other situation or person.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

20. No director, officer or employee may pursue for his or her own account a business or investment opportunity if he or she has obtained knowledge of such opportunity through his or her affiliation with the Corporation. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to the acquisition of less than one percent of the publicly traded securities of another company.

SEVERABILITY

21. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of these By-laws will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of these By-laws is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such provision or portion of any provision shall be severable and the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and these By-laws will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

FORUM FOR CERTAIN ACTIONS

22. Unless a majority of the Board of Directors, acting on behalf of the Corporation, consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court located within the State of Delaware or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws (in each case, as may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any of its directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over all indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 21.

These By-Laws were amended and restated effective as of February 21, 2017.
