1  ARTICLE I    OFFICES AND RECORDS  Section 1.1 Delaware Office. The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware  shall be located in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle.  Section 1.2 Other Offices. The Corporation may have such other offices, either within or  without the State of Delaware, as the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of  Directors”) may designate or as the business of the Corporation may from time to time require.  Section 1.3 Books and Records. The books and records of the Corporation may be kept at the  Corporation’s principal offices or at such other locations outside the State of Delaware as may  from time to time be designated by the Board of Directors.  ARTICLE II    STOCKHOLDERS  Section 2.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall  be held at such date, place and/or time as may be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors.  Section 2.2 Special Meeting.   (A) Special meetings of stockholders may be called by the Board of Directors or the chairman  of the Board of Directors, the President or the Secretary of the Corporation and may not be called  by any other person.  (B) A special meeting of stockholders shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the  written request or requests (each, a “Special Meeting Request” and, collectively, the “Special  Meeting Requests”) of Requesting Stockholders (as defined in Section 2.2(E)) who own at least  15% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote on  the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (for purposes of this  Section 2.2, the “Requisite Percentage”) that complies with the procedures for calling a special  meeting of the stockholders as set forth in this Section 2.2. A Special Meeting Request to the  Secretary shall be signed and dated by each Requesting Stockholder, shall comply with this  Section 2.2, and shall include (i) a statement of the specific purpose or purposes of the special  meeting, (ii) the information required by Section 2.7(A), (iii) an acknowledgement by the  Requesting Stockholders that if such Requesting Stockholders do not continuously own the  shares of the Corporation from the date on which the Special Meeting Request in respect of such  shares is delivered to the Secretary through the date of the special meeting of the stockholders,  then the Special Meeting Request shall be deemed to be revoked as to such shares that were not  so continuously owned, and an agreement to notify the Corporation promptly in the event that  such Requesting Stockholder fails to continuously own any shares of the Corporation in respect  of which the Special Meeting Request was delivered through the date of the special meeting of  the stockholders and (iv) documentary evidence that the Requesting Stockholders own the  Requisite Percentage as of the date of such written request to the Secretary. In addition, the  
 
 
 
2  Requesting Stockholders shall promptly provide any other information reasonably requested by  the Corporation. For the purposes of this Section 2.2, “own,” “owned,” “ownership” and other  variations of the word “own” with respect to a Requesting Stockholder shall have the meaning  specified in Section 2.11(G).  (C) A special meeting requested by stockholders shall be held on such date and at such time as  may be fixed by the Board of Directors in accordance with these Bylaws; provided, however,  that the date of any such special meeting shall not be more than 90 days after a Special Meeting  Request that satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.2 is received by the Secretary.  (D) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, a special meeting requested  by stockholders shall not be held if (i) the Special Meeting Request does not comply with this  Section 2.2, (ii) the Special Meeting Request relates to an item of business that is not a proper  subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (iii) the Special Meeting Request is received  by the Corporation during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the  date of the immediately preceding annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual  meeting, (iv) an annual or special meeting of stockholders that included an identical or  substantially similar item of business (“Similar Business”) was held not more than 120 days  before the Special Meeting Request was received by the Secretary, (v) the Board of Directors has  called or calls for an annual or special meeting of stockholders to be held within 90 days after the  Special Meeting Request is received by the Secretary and the business to be conducted at such  meeting includes the Similar Business or (vi) the Special Meeting Request was made in a manner  that involved a violation of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the  “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law. For purposes of this Section 2.2(D), the nomination,  election or removal of directors shall be deemed to be Similar Business with respect to all items  of business involving the nomination, election or removal of directors, changing the size of the  Board of Directors and filling of vacancies and/or newly created directorships resulting from any  increase in the authorized number of directors. The Board of Directors shall determine in good  faith whether the requirements set forth in this Section 2.2(D) have been satisfied.  (E) A Requesting Stockholder is a person who has either (i) been a record holder of the shares  of voting stock of the Corporation used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.2  or (ii) provides to the Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period specified in Section  2.2(B), evidence of continuous ownership of such shares from one or more securities  intermediaries in a form that the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith,  determines acceptable; in each case for the period specified in Section 2.2(B). In determining  whether a special meeting of stockholders has been requested by Requesting Stockholders  representing in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percentage, multiple Special Meeting  Requests delivered to the Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each Special Meeting  Request identifies substantially the same purpose or purposes of the special meeting and  substantially the same matters proposed to be acted on at the special meeting (in each case as  determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and (ii) such Special Meeting Requests have  been dated and delivered to the Secretary within 60 days of the earliest dated Special Meeting  Request. A Requesting Stockholder may revoke a Special Meeting Request at any time by  written revocation delivered to the Secretary and if, following such revocation, there are  outstanding un-revoked requests from Requesting Stockholders holding less than the Requisite  Percentage, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, cancel the special meeting. If none of  
 
 
 
3  the Requesting Stockholders appears or sends a duly authorized agent to present the business to  be presented for consideration that was specified in the Special Meeting Request, the  Corporation need not present such business for a vote at such special meeting.  (F) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have  been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to  Section 2.4. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting  matters to the stockholders at any special meeting requested by stockholders.  Section 2.3 Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate the place, if any, for any  meeting of the stockholders.   The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a  meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means  of remote communication.  Section 2.4 Notice of Meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, written or printed notice or  notice otherwise allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, stating the place, day and  hour of the meeting and the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be prepared and  delivered by the Corporation not less than ten days nor more than sixty days before the date of  the meeting, either personally, by mail, or by any other manner allowed by the Delaware General  Corporation Law, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such  notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with postage  thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as it appears on the stock  transfer books of the Corporation. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law.  Meetings may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present (except as  otherwise provided by law), or if notice is waived by those not present. Any previously  scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed and (unless the Corporation’s  certificate of incorporation (as in effect from time to time, including any certificates of  designation, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) otherwise provides) any special meeting of the  stockholders may be cancelled, by resolution of the Board of Directors upon public notice given  prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders.  Section 2.5 Quorum and Adjournment. Except as otherwise provided by law or by the  Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding  shares of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting  Stock”), represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of  stockholders, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series voting  separately as a class or series, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of such  class or series shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of such business. The chairman of the  meeting or a majority of the shares of Voting Stock so represented may adjourn the meeting from  time to time, whether or not there is such a quorum (or, in the case of specified business to be  voted on by a class or series, the chairman or a majority of the shares of such class or series so  represented may adjourn the meeting with respect to such specified business). No notice of the  time and place of adjourned meetings need be given except as required by law. The stockholders  present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment,  notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.  
 
 
 
4  Section 2.6 Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder may vote by proxy executed  in writing by the stockholder or as may be permitted by law, or by his, her or its duly authorized  attorney-in-fact. Such proxy must be filed with the Secretary or his representative at or before the  time of the meeting.  Section 2.7 Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.   (A) Annual Meetings of Stockholders. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of  Directors of the Corporation or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the  stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (i) pursuant to the  Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of the  Board of Directors or any committee thereof, (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a  stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.7(A) and at the  time of the meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the  notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(A) or (iv) pursuant to Section 2.11. For the  avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be the exclusive means for a  stockholder to bring nominations or business, as applicable, before an annual meeting of  stockholders, other than business properly included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for such  meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of  stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 2.7(A), whether or not such  stockholder intends to request inclusion of such proposal in any proxy materials to be distributed  by the Corporation, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the  Secretary and any such proposed business (other than the nominations of persons for election to  the Board of Directors) must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action.    To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to or mailed and received by, the  Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more  than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of  stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is  advanced more than 30 days prior to such anniversary date or delayed more than 70 days after  such anniversary date then to be timely such notice must be received by the Corporation no  earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and no later than the later of 70 days prior to  the date of the meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the  date of the meeting was first made by the Corporation. In no event shall the public  announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time  period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.   A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth (x) as to each person whom the stockholder  proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such  person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is  otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including  such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement and form of proxy as a  nominee and to serving as a director if elected (with the Corporation determining in its discretion  whether to include such nominee in its proxy materials)), a completed director nominee  questionnaire in the form prepared by the Corporation that the Corporation determines is  
 
 
 
5  necessary or advisable to assess whether a nominee will satisfy any qualifications or  requirements that may be applicable to directors of the Corporation (the form of such  questionnaires to be provided by the Secretary at the written request of the stockholder), a  reasonably detailed description of any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement,  arrangement or understanding that such person has with any other person or entity other than the  Corporation, including the amount of any payment or payments received or receivable  thereunder, in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the Corporation, and a  written representation and agreement that the nominee has read and agrees, if elected, to comply  with all of the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and  any other Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to directors (such policies to be  provided by the Secretary at the written request of the stockholder), (y) as to any other business  that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business  desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text  of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a  proposal to amend these Amended and Restated Bylaws, the language of the proposed  amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in  such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal  is made and (z) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose  behalf the proposal is made:  (1) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such stockholder,  and the name and address of any such beneficial owner, and of any affiliates, associates, or  others acting in concert with such stockholder or such beneficial owner (any such person other  than the stockholder, a “Stockholder Associated Person”);  (2) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are held  of record or are beneficially owned by such stockholder and by any Stockholder Associated  Person;  (3) a description of any agreement, arrangement, relationship or understanding (whether  written or oral) between or among such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person and any  other person in connection with the proposal of such nomination or other business;  (4) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative  or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or  similar rights, hedging transactions and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by  or on behalf of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, or any other agreement,  arrangement or understanding, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or  benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder  or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to the Corporation’s securities;  (5) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation  entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to  bring such nomination or other business before the meeting;   (6) a representation as to whether such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person  intends or is part of a group that intends to (i) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to  
 
 
 
6  holders of at least the percentage of the voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding capital  stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or to elect each such nominee, (ii) otherwise to  solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination, and/or (iii) solicit  the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on  the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in  accordance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act;   (7) a representation as to whether such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person has  complied with all applicable legal requirements in connection with its acquisition of shares or  other securities of the Corporation, and any other information reasonably requested by the  Corporation, including with respect to determining whether such person has complied with this  Section 2.7(A); and  (8) any other information relating to such stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person, ,  beneficial owner, if any, or director nominee or proposed business that would be required to be  disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the  solicitation of proxies in support of such nominee or proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the  Exchange Act.  In addition, to be considered timely, a stockholder’s notice shall further be updated and  supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such  notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is 10  days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and  supplement shall be delivered to, and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices  of the Corporation not later than 10 days after the record date for the meeting in the case of the  update and supplement required to be made as of the record date and not later than eight days  prior to the date of the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof in the case of the  update and supplement required to be made as of 10 days prior to the meeting or any  adjournment or postponement thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and  supplement as set forth in this Section 2.7(A) or any other section of these Amended and  Restated Bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies under  these Amended and Restated Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has  previously submitted a stockholder’s notice under these Amended and Restated Bylaws to amend  or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding  nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of  stockholders.  (B) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special  meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the  Corporation’s notice of meeting pursuant to Section 2.4. Nominations of persons for election to  the Board of Directors of the Corporation at a special meeting of stockholders may be made by  stockholders only (i) in accordance with Section 2.2 or (ii) if the election of directors is included  as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, by any  stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice  provided for in this Section 2.7(B) and at the time of the special meeting, who shall be entitled to  vote at the meeting and who complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(B). The  proposal by stockholders of other business to be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders  
 
 
 
7  may be made only in accordance with Section 2.2. For nominations to be properly brought by a  stockholder before a special meeting of stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.7(B), the  stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a  stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the  principal executive offices of the Corporation (x) not earlier than 120 days prior to the date of the  special meeting nor (y) later than the later of 90 days prior to the date of the special meeting or  the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting  was first made by the Corporation. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall comply with the  notice requirements of  Section 2.7(A).  (C) General. At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of  Directors for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary the information that is required  to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to the nominee. No person  shall be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder to serve as a director of the Corporation unless  nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 or Section 2.11 and in  Section 2.2 (in the case of a special meeting) or Section 2.10 (in the case of a written consent).  No business proposed by a stockholder shall be conducted except in accordance with the  procedures set forth in this Section 2.7 and in Section 2.2 (in the case of a special meeting) or  Section 2.10 (in the case of a written consent). The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts  warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance  with the procedures prescribed by these Amended and Restated Bylaws or that business was not  properly brought before the meeting, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the  meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded or such business shall not be  transacted, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7,  unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the  stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation  to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such  proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote  may have been received by the Corporation and counted for the purpose of determining a  quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.7 and Section 2.11, 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7, 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 Section 2.7; provided however, that any  references in these Amended and Restated Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and  regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements  applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this  Section 2.7, and compliance with clause (iii) of Section 2.7(A), Section 2.7(B) or Section 2.11  shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business  (other than as provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.7(C)). Notwithstanding anything to  the contrary in these Amended and Restated Bylaws, unless otherwise required by law, if any  stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person (i) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b)  promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to any proposed nominee and (ii)  
 
 
 
8  subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3)  promulgated under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to  satisfy the Corporation that such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person has met the  requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the  following sentence), then the nomination of each such proposed nominee shall be disregarded,  notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such proposed nominees may  have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded except for  the purpose of determining a quorum). If any stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person  provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such  stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than five  business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable evidence that it has met the  requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary, the notice requirements set forth herein with respect to the proposal of  any business pursuant to this Section 2.7 other than a nomination of persons for election to the  Board of Directors shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder if such stockholder has submitted a  proposal to the Corporation in compliance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange  Act, as amended from time to time, and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy  statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for the meeting of  stockholders.  (D) For purposes of this Section 2.7 and Section 2.11, “public announcement” shall mean  disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a  comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the  Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  (E) Any stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person soliciting proxies from other  stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which color shall be reserved for the  exclusive use of the Corporation.  Section 2.8 Procedure for Election of Directors. Election of directors at all meetings of the  stockholders at which directors are to be elected shall be by written ballot or other means  allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and, except as otherwise set forth in the  Certificate of Incorporation with respect to the right of the holders of any series of preferred  stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) or any other series or class of stock to elect  additional directors under specified circumstances, a nominee for director shall be elected to the  Board of Directors if the nominee receives a majority of the votes cast with respect to that  nominee’s election at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present;  provided, however, that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected  (a “Contested Election”), the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast  on the election of directors. If an incumbent director nominee fails to receive a majority of the  votes in an election that is not a Contested Election, the director shall immediately tender his or  her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors,  or such other committee designated by the Board of Directors, shall make a recommendation to  the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent  director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors shall act on the  resignation, taking into account the committee’s recommendation, and publicly disclose (by a  press release and filing an appropriate disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission)  
 
 
 
9  its decision regarding the resignation within 90 days following certification of the election  results. If the Board of Directors accepts a director’s resignation pursuant to this Section, or if a  nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, the remaining  members of the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy or may decrease the size of the  Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or  these Amended and Restated Bylaws, all matters other than the election of directors submitted to  the stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the  voting power of the outstanding Voting Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the  meeting and entitled to vote thereon.  Section 2.9 Inspectors of Elections; Opening and Closing the Polls.  (A) The Board of Directors by resolution shall appoint one or more inspectors, which inspector  or inspectors may include individuals who serve the Corporation in other capacities, including,  without limitation, as officers, employees, agents or representatives of the Corporation, to act at  the meeting and make a written report thereof. One or more persons may be designated as  alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate has been  appointed to act, or if all inspectors or alternates who have been appointed are unable to act, at a  meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act  at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath  faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of  his or her ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by the Delaware General  Corporation Law.  (B) In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by Section 2.10 and applicable law, to  the Corporation of written consent or written consents to take corporate action and/or any related  revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall appoint one or more inspectors for the purpose  of performing promptly a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. For  the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action by written consent and  without a meeting shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review,  determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents delivered to the  Corporation in accordance with Section 2.10 and applicable law have been obtained to authorize  or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such determination for entry in the  records of the Corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of  stockholders. Nothing contained herein shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the  Board of Directors or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent  or revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the inspectors, or to take any  other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any  litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).  (C) The chairman of the meeting shall fix and announce at the meeting the date and time of the  opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a  meeting.  Section 2.10 Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.  
 
 
 
10  (A) Except as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to  be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or  special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation or may be effected by a consent in writing by  stockholders as provided by, and subject to the limitations in, the Certificate of Incorporation and  this Section 2.10.  (B) A request by a stockholder for a record date in accordance with Article VIII of the  Certificate of Incorporation must be delivered by the holders of record of at least 25% (for  purposes of this Section 2.10, the “Requisite Percentage”) of the voting power of the outstanding  capital stock of the Corporation entitled to express consent on the relevant action, must describe  the action that the stockholder proposes to take by consent (the “Action”) and must contain (i)  the text of the proposal (including the text of any resolutions to be effected by consent), (ii) the  information required by Section 2.7(A) of these Amended and Restated Bylaws, to the extent  applicable, as though the stockholders making the request were making a Special Meeting  Request in furtherance of the Action, (iii) an acknowledgment by the stockholders making the  request and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the request is being made that a  disposition of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock, owned of record or beneficially as of the  date on which the request in respect of such shares is delivered to the Secretary, that is made at  any time prior to the delivery of the first written consent with respect to the Action shall  constitute a revocation of such request with respect to such disposed shares, (iv) a statement that  the stockholder intends to solicit consents in accordance with Regulation 14A under the  Exchange Act, without reliance on the exemption contained in Rule 14a-2(b)(2) under the  Exchange Act, and (v) documentary evidence that the stockholders making the request own the  Requisite Percentage as of the date that the request is delivered to the Secretary; provided,  however, that if the stockholders making the request are not the beneficial owners of the shares  representing the Requisite Percentage, then to be valid, the request must also include  documentary evidence (or, if not simultaneously provided with the request, such documentary  evidence must be delivered to the Secretary within ten (10) business days after the date on which  the request is delivered to the Secretary) that the beneficial owners on whose behalf the request is  made beneficially own the Requisite Percentage as of the date on which such request is delivered  to the Secretary. In addition, the requesting stockholders and the beneficial owners, if any, on  whose behalf the request is being made shall promptly provide any other information reasonably  requested by the Corporation.  (C) In determining whether a record date has been requested by stockholders of record  representing in the aggregate at least the Requisite Percentage, multiple requests delivered to the  Secretary will be considered together only if (i) each identifies substantially the same proposed  action and includes substantially the same text of the proposal (in each case as determined in  good faith by the Board of Directors), and (ii) such requests have been dated and delivered to the  Secretary within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated request. Any stockholder may revoke a  request with respect to his or her shares at any time by written revocation delivered to the  Secretary.   Section 2.11 Nominations of Directors Included in the Corporation’s Proxy Materials.  (A) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.11, if expressly requested in the relevant  Nomination Notice (as defined below), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for  
 
 
 
11  any annual meeting of stockholders (but not at any special meeting of stockholders): (i) the name  of any person nominated for election (the “Stockholder Nominee”), which shall also be included  on the Corporation’s proxy card and ballot, by any Eligible Stockholder (as defined below) or  group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders that, as determined by the Board of Directors or its  designee acting in good faith, has (individually and collectively, in the case of a group) satisfied  all applicable conditions and complied with all applicable procedures set forth in this Section  2.11 (such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders being a “Nominating  Stockholder”); (ii) disclosure about the Stockholder Nominee and the Nominating Stockholder  required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable law to  be included in the proxy statement; (iii) any statement included by the Nominating Stockholder  in the Nomination Notice for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the Stockholder  Nominee’s election to the Board of Directors (subject, without limitation, to Section 2.11(K)),  provided that such statement does not exceed 500 words; and (iv) any other information that the  Corporation or the Board of Directors determines, in their discretion, to include in the proxy  statement relating to the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee, including, without limitation,  any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to  this Section 2.11.  (B) The Corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy statement for an annual  meeting of stockholders more Stockholder Nominees than that number of directors constituting  20% of the total number of directors of the Corporation on the last day on which a Nomination  Notice may be submitted pursuant to this Section 2.11 (rounded down to the nearest whole  number), but, in any event, not fewer than two (the “Maximum Number”). The Maximum  Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by: (i) Stockholder Nominees whose  nominations are subsequently withdrawn; (ii) Stockholder Nominees who the Board of Directors  itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting and (iii) the number of incumbent  directors who had been Stockholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings of  stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is being  recommended by the Board of Directors. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason  occurs on the Board of Directors after the deadline set forth in Section 2.11(I) but before the date  of the annual meeting of stockholders and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of  the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based  on the number of directors in office as so reduced.  (C) If the number of Stockholder Nominees pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any annual  meeting of stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number then, promptly upon notice from the  Corporation, each Nominating Stockholder will select one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in  the proxy statement until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest  to smallest) of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of the Corporation’s voting stock  that each Nominating Stockholder disclosed as owned in its Nomination Notice, with the process  repeated if the Maximum Number is not reached after each Nominating Stockholder has selected  one Stockholder Nominee. If, after the deadline for submitting a Nomination Notice as set forth  in Section 2.11(I), a Nominating Stockholder becomes ineligible or withdraws its nomination or  a Stockholder Nominee becomes ineligible or unwilling to serve on the Board of Directors,  whether before or after the mailing of the definitive proxy statement, then the Corporation: (i)  shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.11 to include in its proxy statement or on any  ballot or proxy card the Stockholder Nominee or any successor or replacement nominee  
 
 
 
12  proposed by the Nominating Stockholder or by any other Nominating Stockholder and (ii) may  otherwise communicate to its stockholders, including without limitation by amending or  supplementing its proxy statement or ballot or proxy card, that the Stockholder Nominee will not  be included as a Stockholder Nominee in the proxy statement or on any ballot or proxy card and  will not be voted on at the annual meeting of stockholders.  (D) An “Eligible Stockholder” is a person who has either (i) been a record holder of the shares  of voting stock of the Corporation used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in these Sections  2.11(D)-(H) continuously for the three-year period specified in Section 2.11(E) below or (ii)  provides to the Secretary of the Corporation, within the time period referred to in Section 2.11(I),  evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more  securities intermediaries in a form that the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good  faith, determines acceptable.  (E) An Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders may submit a  nomination in accordance with this  Section 2.11 only if the person or group (in the aggregate)  has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) (as adjusted for any  stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or similar events) of all outstanding shares of  the Corporation’s voting stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date  of submission of the Nomination Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number of  shares through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The following shall be treated as  one Eligible Stockholder if such Eligible Stockholder shall provide together with the Nomination  Notice documentation satisfactory to the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith,  that demonstrates compliance with the following criteria: (i) funds under common management  and investment control; (ii) funds under common management and funded primarily by the same  employer; or (iii) a “family of investment companies” or a “group of investment companies”  (each as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended). For the avoidance of  doubt, in the event of a nomination by a Nominating Stockholder that includes more than one  Eligible Stockholder, any and all requirements and obligations for a given Eligible Stockholder  or, except as the context otherwise makes clear, the Nominating Stockholder that are set forth in  this  Section 2.11, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each member of such  group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the aggregate ownership of  the group of Eligible Stockholders constituting the Nominating Stockholder. Should any Eligible  Stockholder withdraw from a group of Eligible Stockholders constituting a Nominating  Stockholder at any time prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the Nominating Stockholder  shall be deemed to own only the shares held by the remaining Eligible Stockholders. As used in  this  Section 2.11, any reference to a “group” or “group of Eligible Stockholders” refers to any  Nominating Stockholder that consists of more than one Eligible Stockholder and to all the  Eligible Stockholders that make up such Nominating Stockholder.  (F) The “Minimum Number” of shares of the Corporation’s voting stock means 3% of the total  voting power of all outstanding shares of voting stock of the Corporation as of the most recent  date for which such amount is given in any filing by the Corporation with the Securities and  Exchange Commission prior to the submission of the Nomination Notice.  (G) For purposes of Section 2.2 and this  Section 2.11, an Eligible Stockholder or a Requesting  Stockholder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the Corporation’s voting stock as to which  
 
 
 
13  such Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder possesses both: (i) the full voting and  investment rights pertaining to such shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the  opportunity for profit from and the risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of  shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (1) sold by  such Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction  that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such Eligible Stockholder or Requesting  Stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Stockholder or  Requesting Stockholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject  to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar  agreement entered into by such Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder or any of its  affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash  based on the notional amount or value of outstanding capital stock of Corporation, in any such  case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (x)  reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Stockholder’s or  Requesting Stockholder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such  shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the  full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder  or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder “owns” shares held in  the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Stockholder or Requesting  Stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of  directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. An Eligible Stockholder’s or  Requesting Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in  which the Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder has delegated any voting power by  means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable  at any time by the Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder. An Eligible Stockholder’s or  Requesting Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in  which the Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder has loaned such shares provided that  the Eligible Stockholder or Requesting Stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on  not more than five business days’ notice. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of  the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the Corporation  are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors or its designee  acting in good faith. For purposes of this Section 2.11(G), the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall  have the meaning ascribed thereto under the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange  Act.  (H) No Eligible Stockholder shall be permitted to be in more than one group constituting a  Nominating Stockholder, and if any Eligible Stockholder appears as a member of more than one  group, such Eligible Stockholder shall be deemed to be a member of only the group that has the  largest ownership position as reflected in the Nomination Notice.  (I) To nominate a Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this  Section 2.11, the Nominating  Stockholder must submit to the Secretary of the Corporation all of the following information and  documents in a form that the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, determines  acceptable (collectively, the “Nomination Notice”), not less than 120 days nor more than 150  days prior to the anniversary of the date that the Corporation mailed its proxy statement for the  prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if (and only if) the annual  meeting of stockholders is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days  
 
 
 
14  before the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders and ends  30 days after the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders  (an annual meeting date outside such period being referred to herein as an “Other Meeting  Date”), the Nomination Notice shall be given in the manner provided herein by the later of the  close of business on the date that is 180 days prior to such Other Meeting Date or the tenth day  following the date such Other Meeting Date is first publicly announced or disclosed (in no event  shall the adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting, or the announcement thereof,  commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of the Nomination  Notice):  (i) one or more written statements from the record holder of the shares (and from each  intermediary through which the shares are or have been held during the requisite three-year  holding period) verifying that, as of a date within seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of the  Nomination Notice, the Nominating Stockholder owns, and has continuously owned for the  preceding three (3) years, the Minimum Number of shares, and the Nominating Stockholder’s  agreement to provide, within five (5) business days after the record date for the annual meeting,  written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Nominating  Stockholder’s continuous ownership of the Minimum Number of shares through the record date;  (ii) an agreement to provide immediate notice if the Nominating Stockholder ceases to own the  Minimum Number of shares at any time prior to the date of the annual meeting;  (iii) a copy of the Schedule 14N (or any successor form) relating to the Stockholder Nominee,  completed and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Nominating  Stockholder as applicable, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules;  (iv) the written consent of each Stockholder Nominee to being named in the Corporation’s  proxy statement, proxy card and ballot as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected;  (v) a written notice of the nomination of such Stockholder Nominee that includes the following  additional information, agreements, representations and warranties by the Nominating  Stockholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each group member in the case of a  Nominating Stockholder consisting of a group of Eligible Stockholders): (1) the information that  would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination pursuant to Section 2.7  (except for the representation required by Section 2.7(A)(z)(6)); (2) the details of any  relationship that existed within the past three years and that would have been described pursuant  to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14N (or any successor item) if it existed on the date of submission of  the Schedule 14N; (3) a representation and warranty that the Nominating Stockholder did not  acquire, and is not holding, securities of the Corporation for the purpose or with the effect of  influencing or changing control of the Corporation; (4) a representation and warranty that the  Nominating Stockholder has not nominated and will not nominate for election to the Board of  Directors at the annual meeting any person other than such Nominating Stockholder’s  Stockholder Nominee(s); (5) a representation and warranty that the Nominating Stockholder has  not engaged in and will not engage in a “solicitation” within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under  the Exchange Act (without reference to the exception in Section 14a-(l)(2)(iv)) with respect to  the annual meeting, other than with respect to such Nominating Stockholder’s Stockholder  Nominee(s) or any nominee of the Board of Directors); (6) a representation and warranty that the  
 
 
 
15  Nominating Stockholder will not use any proxy card other than the Corporation’s proxy card in  soliciting stockholders in connection with the election of a Stockholder Nominee at the annual  meeting; (7) a representation and warranty that the Stockholder Nominee’s candidacy or, if  elected, board membership would not violate applicable state or federal law or the Stock  Exchange Rules; (8) a representation and warranty that the Stockholder Nominee: (a) does not  have any direct or indirect relationship with the Corporation that will cause the Stockholder  Nominee to be deemed not independent pursuant to the Corporation’s Corporate Governance  Guidelines and otherwise qualifies as independent under the Corporation’s Corporate  Governance Guidelines, the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and the Stock Exchange  Rules; (b) meets the audit committee and compensation committee independence requirements  under the Stock Exchange Rules; (c) is a “non-employee director” for the purposes of Rule 16b-3  under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule); (d) is an “outside director” for the purposes of  Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision); (e) is not and has not  been subject to any event specified in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D (or any successor rule)  under the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K (or any successor rule) under  the Exchange Act, without reference to whether the event is material to an evaluation of the  ability or integrity of the Stockholder Nominee; and (f) meets the director qualifications set forth  in the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines; (9) a representation and warranty that the  Nominating Stockholder satisfies the eligibility requirements set forth in Sections 2.11(D)-(H);  (10) a representation and warranty that the Nominating Stockholder will continue to satisfy the  eligibility requirements described in Sections 2.11(D)-(H) through the date of the annual  meeting; (11) a representation as to the Nominating Stockholder’s intentions with respect to  continuing to hold the Minimum Number of shares for at least one year following the annual  meeting; (12) details of any position of the Stockholder Nominee as an officer or director of any  competitor (that is, any entity that produces products or provides services that compete with or  are alternatives to the principal products produced or services provided by the Corporation or its  affiliates) of the Corporation, within the three years preceding the submission of the Nomination  Notice; (13) if desired, a statement for inclusion in the proxy statement in support of the  Stockholder Nominee’s election to the Board of Directors, provided that such statement shall not  exceed 500 words and shall fully comply with Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and  regulations thereunder; and (14) in the case of a nomination by a Nominating Stockholder  comprised of a group, the designation by all Eligible Stockholders in such group of one Eligible  Stockholder that is authorized to act on behalf of the Nominating Stockholder with respect to  matters relating to the nomination, including withdrawal of the nomination;  (vi) an executed agreement pursuant to which the Nominating Stockholder (including in the  case of a group, each Eligible Stockholder in that group) agrees: (1) to comply with all  applicable laws, rules and regulations in connection with the nomination, solicitation and  election; (2) to file any written solicitation or other communication with the Corporation’s  stockholders relating to one or more of the Corporation’s directors or director nominees or any  Stockholder Nominee with the Securities and Exchange Commission, regardless of whether any  such filing is required under any rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is  available for such materials under any rule or regulation; (3) to assume all liability stemming  from an action, suit or proceeding concerning any legal or regulatory violation arising out of any  communication by the Nominating Stockholder or the Stockholder Nominee nominated by such  Nominating Stockholder with the Corporation, its stockholders or any other person in connection  with the nomination or election of directors, including, without limitation, the Nomination  
 
 
 
16  Notice; (4) to indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and each of its directors, officers and  employees individually against any liability, loss, damages, expenses or other costs (including  attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding,  whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Corporation or any of its directors,  officers or employees arising out of or relating to a failure of the Nominating Stockholder or  Stockholder Nominee to comply with, or any breach or alleged breach of, its, or his or her, as  applicable, obligations, agreements or representations under this Section 2.11; (5) in the event  that any information included in the Nomination Notice, or any other communication by the  Nominating Stockholder (including with respect to any Eligible Stockholder included in a group)  with the Corporation, its stockholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or  election ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or due to a subsequent  development omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading), to  promptly (and in any event within 48 hours of discovering such misstatement or omission) notify  the Corporation and any other recipient of such communication of the misstatement or omission  in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct the  misstatement or omission; and (6) in the event that the Nominating Stockholder (including any  Eligible Stockholder included in a group) has failed to continue to satisfy the eligibility  requirements described in Sections 2.11(D)-(H), to promptly notify the Corporation; and  (vii) an executed agreement by the Stockholder Nominee: (1) to provide to the Corporation such  other information, including completion of the Corporation’s director nominee questionnaire, as  the Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, may request; (2) that the Stockholder  Nominee has read and agrees, if elected, to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, to  adhere to the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and  any other Corporation policies and guidelines applicable to directors; and (3) that the  Stockholder Nominee is not and will not become a party to (a) any compensatory, payment or  other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity in connection  with such person’s nomination, candidacy, service or action as director of the Corporation that  has not been fully disclosed to the Corporation prior to or concurrently with the Nominating  Stockholder’s submission of the Nomination Notice, (b) any agreement, arrangement or  understanding with any person or entity as to how the Stockholder Nominee would vote or act on  any issue or question as a director (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been fully disclosed to  the Corporation prior to or concurrently with the Nominating Stockholder’s submission of the  Nomination Notice or (c) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with the  Nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with his or her fiduciary  duties under applicable law.  The information and documents required by this (I)Section 2.11(I) shall be (1) provided with  respect to and executed by each Eligible Stockholder in the group in the case of a Nominating  Stockholder comprised of a group of Eligible Stockholders; and (2) provided with respect to the  persons specified in Instructions 1 and 2 to Items 6(c) and (d) of Schedule 14N (or any successor  item) (a) in the case of a Nominating Stockholder that is an entity and (b) in the case of a  Nominating Stockholder that is a group that includes one or more Eligible Stockholders that are  entities. The Nomination Notice shall be deemed submitted on the date on which all of the  information and documents referred to in this (I)Section 2.11(I) (other than such information and  documents contemplated to be provided after the date the Nomination Notice is provided) have  been delivered to or, if sent by mail, received by the Secretary of the Corporation.  
 
 
 
17  (J) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, the Corporation  may omit from its proxy statement any Stockholder Nominee and any information concerning  such Stockholder Nominee (including a Nominating Stockholder’s statement in support) and no  vote on such Stockholder Nominee will occur (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such  vote may have been received by the Corporation), and the Nominating Stockholder may not,  after the last day on which a Nomination Notice would be timely, cure in any way any defect  preventing the nomination of the Stockholder Nominee, if: (i) the Corporation receives a notice  that a stockholder intends to nominate a candidate for director at the annual meeting pursuant to  the advance notice requirements set forth in Section 2.7 without such stockholder’s notice  expressly electing to have such director candidate(s) included in the Corporation’s proxy  statement pursuant to this Section 2.11; (ii) the Nominating Stockholder (or, in the case of a  Nominating Stockholder consisting of a group of Eligible Stockholders, the Eligible Stockholder  that is authorized to act on behalf of the Nominating Stockholder), or any qualified  representative thereof, does not appear at the annual meeting to present the nomination submitted  pursuant to this Section 2.11 or the Nominating Stockholder withdraws its nomination; (iii) the  Board of Directors or its designee, acting in good faith, determines that such Stockholder  Nominee’s nomination or election to the Board of Directors would result in the Corporation  violating or failing to be in compliance with these Bylaws or the Certificate of Incorporation or  any applicable law, rule or regulation to which the Corporation is subject, including the Stock  Exchange Rules; (iv) the Stockholder Nominee was nominated for election to the Board of  Directors pursuant to this Section 2.11 at one of the Corporation’s two preceding annual  meetings of stockholders and either withdrew from or became ineligible or unavailable for  election at such annual meeting or received a vote of less than 25% of the total voting power of  all outstanding shares of voting stock entitled to vote for such Stockholder Nominee; (v) the  Stockholder Nominee has been, within the past three years, an officer or director of a competitor,  as defined for purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended; or (vi) the  Corporation is notified, or the Board of Directors or its designee acting in good faith determines,  that a Nominating Stockholder has failed to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements  described in Sections 2.11(D)-(H), any of the representations and warranties made in the  Nomination Notice ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or omits a material fact  necessary to make the statement made not misleading), the Stockholder Nominee becomes  unwilling or unable to serve on the Board of Directors or any material violation or breach occurs  of any of the obligations, agreements, representations or warranties of the Nominating  Stockholder or the Stockholder Nominee under this Section 2.11.  (K) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.11, the Corporation  may omit from its proxy statement, or may supplement or correct, any information, including all  or any portion of the statement in support of the Stockholder Nominee included in the  Nomination Notice, if the Board of Directors or its designee in good faith determines that: (i)  such information is not true in all material respects or omits a material statement necessary to  make the statements made not misleading; (ii) the inclusion of such information in the proxy  statement would otherwise violate the Securities and Exchange Commission proxy rules or any  other applicable law, rule or regulation or would be excludable by the Corporation under the  rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission if submitted as part of a  shareholder proposal for inclusion in a proxy statement or (iii) the inclusion of such information  in the proxy statement would impose a material risk of liability upon the Corporation.  
 
 
 
18  The Corporation may solicit against, and include in the proxy statement its own statement  relating to, any Stockholder Nominee.  ARTICLE III    BOARD OF DIRECTORS  Section 3.1 General Powers.

ARTICLE VI    INDEMNIFICATION  Section 6.1 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened  to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,  criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that  he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of  the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a  partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee  benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action  in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while  serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the  Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the  same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the  extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights  than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees,  judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably  incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall  continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and  shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided,  however, that, except as provided in Section 6.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to  indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a  proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof)  was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.  Section 6.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in  Section 6.1 shall include, to the extent permitted by law, the right to be paid by the Corporation  the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding for which such right to indemnification is  applicable in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”);  provided, however, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, an advancement of  expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any  other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without  limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the  Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such  indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial  decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that  
 
 
 
23  such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or  otherwise.  Section 6.3 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. The rights to indemnification and to the  advancement of expenses conferred in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, respectively, shall be contract  rights. If a claim under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within  sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a  claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty days,  the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the  unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought  by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an  undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or  defending such suit. In (A) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to  indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an  advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (B) in any suit by the Corporation to  recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation  shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not  met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation  Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal  counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such  suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee  has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law,  nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent  legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of  conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of  conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any  suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of  expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to  the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be  indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the  Corporation.  Section 6.4 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of  expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person  may have or hereafter acquire under the Certificate of Incorporation, these Amended and  Restated Bylaws, or any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or  otherwise.  Section 6.5 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself  and any indemnitee or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise  against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to  indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General  Corporation Law.  Section 6.6 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation  may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to  indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses, to any employee or agent of the
