If mailed, such notice shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If electronically transmitted, such notice shall be deemed given when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice. Confirmation of receipt will not be required.

represented by proxy at such meeting shall so determine otherwise. Every vote taken by written ballot shall be counted by one or more inspectors of election. When a quorum is present at any meeting, in all matters other than the election of directors, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock that has voting power present in person or by means of remote communication or represented by proxy shall decide any question properly brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which a different vote is required pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, a Certificate of Designation or these Bylaws, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or in any Certificate of Designation, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or by means of remote communication or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

(c) Whenever pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or any Certificate of Designation, shares of the Corporation’s capital stock are not eligible to vote on any matter or are disqualified from voting thereon, they will not be considered outstanding for purposes of the determination of a quorum, or the required vote to approve action upon any matter.

Such list shall be produced and kept available at the times and places required by the DGCL.

Section 1.9 Order of Business.

(a) The Chairman of the Board, or such officer of the Corporation designated by a majority of the Board, will call meetings of the stockholders to order and will act as the chairperson thereof. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or unless otherwise determined by the Board prior to the meeting, the chairperson of the meeting of the stockholders will also determine the order of business and have the authority in his or her sole discretion to regulate the conduct of the meeting, including without limitation, by imposing restrictions on the persons (other than stockholders of the Corporation or their duly appointed proxies) who may attend any such stockholders’ meeting, by ascertaining whether any stockholder or the stockholder’s proxy may be excluded from any meeting of the stockholders based upon any determination by the chairperson, in his or her sole discretion, that any such person has unduly disrupted or is likely to disrupt the proceedings at the meeting of the stockholders and by determining the circumstances in which any person may make a statement or ask questions at any meeting of the stockholders.

(b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business will be conducted or considered as is properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any

supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board or the Board in accordance with these Bylaws, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the chairperson or by or at the direction of a majority of the Board, or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with Section 1.10 of these Bylaws.

Section 1.10 Stockholder Notices For New Business.

(a) For business to be properly requested by a stockholder to be brought before an annual meeting, the stockholder must (i) be entitled to vote at such meeting, and (ii) have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 60 nor more than 90 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the prior year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that (i) there was no annual meeting held during the prior year or (ii) the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 calendar days before or after the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, in order to be timely notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (a) the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting or (b) the tenth calendar day following the day on which public announcement was first made of the date of the annual meeting. In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. For purposes of the foregoing, the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials to stockholders will be the date so described in such proxy materials. For purposes of this Section 1.10 and Section 2.6(b), “public announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or otherwise published by the Corporation in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or furnished to stockholders.

(iv) any material interest of such stockholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business; (v) a description of all arrangements or understandings among such stockholder, the beneficial owner on whose behalf the notice is given and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business of such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in such business; and (vi) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring such business before the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.10(b), a stockholder must 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 1.10(b). Nothing in this Section 1.10(b) will be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Section 1.11 Adjourned Meetings and Notice of Same. Any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of a majority of the shares, the holders of which are either present in person or represented by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum (except as provided in Section 1.5) no other business may be transacted at the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date, and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 60 calendar days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting must be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which properly could have been transacted at the original meeting.

The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member of the committee.

(b) Unless otherwise prescribed in any resolution from time to time adopted by the Board, a majority of the members of any committee of the Board is a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of that committee.

Vacancies in the Board shall be

filled by a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director.

All nominations by stockholders must be made pursuant to timely written notice to the Secretary.

In no event will the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. For purposes of the foregoing, the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials to stockholders will be the date so described in such proxy materials. (ii) In the event of a special meeting of stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be in writing and delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 60 nor more than 90 calendar days prior to the date on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting; provided, however, that if the public announcement of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board to be elected at such meeting is first made less than 60 calendar days prior to the date of the special meeting, a stockholder notice must be received no later than the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting.

nomination is made; (ii) a representation that the stockholder giving the notice is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (iii) the class and/or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned beneficially and of record by the stockholder giving the notice and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made; (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between or among any of (A) the stockholder giving the notice, (B) the beneficial owner on whose behalf the notice is given, (C) each nominee, and (D) any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder giving the notice; (v) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by the stockholder giving the notice as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Commission under the Exchange Act had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board; and (vi) the signed consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation if so elected. At the request of the Board, any person nominated by the Board for election as a director must furnish to the Secretary that information required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to the nominee. The chairperson of the meeting will, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he or she should so determine, he or she will so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.6(c), 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 these Bylaws.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board 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 at least 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice required by these Bylaws will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement was first made by the Corporation.

Section 2.7 Regular Meetings.

Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President of the Corporation, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or by a majority of the Board and notice will be deemed given to each director by whom such notice is not waived, if it is given 24 hours before the start of the meeting (i) in person, (ii) by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the director has consented to receive notice, (iii) by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the director has consented to receive notice, or (iv) by other similar medium of

communication, or if it is given 72 hours before the start of the meeting by mail, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and when directed to an address to which the director has consented to receive notice.

If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, the directors present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time to another place, time or date, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum was present may continue notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for the meeting.

Section 2.10 Participation in Meetings by Remote Communications. Members of the Board may participate in a meeting through use of conference telephone or similar communications equipment, so long as all members participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such participation in a meeting will constitute presence in person at the meeting.

If a meeting is adjourned for more than 24 hours, notice of any adjournment to another time or place will be given prior to the time of the adjourned meeting to the directors that were not present at the time of adjournment.

Section 2.12 Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee of the Board may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes or proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which in the case of an annual meeting or a special meeting of the stockholders called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Chief Executive Officer or the majority of the Board will not be more than 60 nor less than 10 calendar days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the calendar day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the calendar day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders will apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for any adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date will not be more than 60 calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose will be at the close of business on the calendar day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

(c) The Corporation will be entitled to treat the person in whose name any certificate representing shares or uncertificated shares of stock of the Corporation is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes, and will not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other person, whether or not the Corporation has notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable law.
