Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered to the Chief Executive Officer. No other
    
2

Persons may call a special meeting. Special meetings shall be held at the date, time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as determined by the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary upon the written request of a majority of the Board or the stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes at the meeting, as applicable. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
(c)Notice.
(i)General. Notice of all stockholder meetings shall be delivered to each stockholder not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days before the meeting date.
(ii)Contents. The notice must state the date, time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, must describe generally the purpose or purposes for the special meeting.
(iii)Delivery. For purposes of this Section 2.01(c), delivery of notice means and includes: (A) hand delivery of written notice to the stockholder; (B) written notice deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the stockholder at the address last furnished to the Corporation; or (C) facsimile or e-mail transmission of the notice to the stockholder at the facsimile number or e-mail address last furnished to the Corporation.
(iv)Adjourned Meetings. Notice need not be given of an adjourned meeting if the time and place of the adjourned meeting is announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a new notice shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
(d)Waiver. Any stockholder may waive notice of any meeting in writing either before or after a meeting. Additionally, a stockholder’s attendance at any meeting constitutes a waiver of notice of that meeting except when the stockholder is attending to expressly object to the transaction of business at that meeting because, in the reasonable and good faith view of the stockholder, the meeting was not lawfully called.
(e)List of Stockholders. A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be prepared by the Secretary at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders and shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days before the meeting during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting and may be examined by any stockholder who is present.

(f)Organization. The Chairman (or in the absence of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, or in the absence of the Chief Executive Officer, any Person designated by the Board) shall preside at meetings of stockholders as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary, but in the absence of the Secretary, the chairman of the meeting may appoint a secretary. The chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe rules governing the procedure and conduct of the meeting, including (i) the setting of the business for the meeting and the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for attending or participating in the meeting; (iii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iv) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to the stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other Persons as the chairman of the meeting shall permit; (v) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (vi) not requiring motions or seconding of motions; and (vii) limitations and restrictions as to the content of and the time allotted, if any, to questions or comments by participants. Meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.
(g)Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate or these Bylaws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at that meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of some stockholders prior to adjournment, but in no event shall a quorum consist of holders of less than one-third (1/3) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote and thus represented at such meeting. In the event of a lack of quorum, the chairman of the meeting or a majority in interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be obtained. At any such adjourned meeting at which there is a quorum, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting originally called.
(h)Voting. Subject to the rights, if any, of any preferred stock issued in accordance with the Certificate, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy (either written or as otherwise permitted by the General Corporation Law), for each share of Common Stock held of record by such stockholder. Except as otherwise required by the General Corporation Law, as specifically provided for in the Certificate, the Stockholders’ Agreement or these Bylaws, in any question or matter brought before any meeting of stockholders in which a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of Common Stock, represented in person or by proxy, representing a majority of the votes actually cast on any such question or matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Jointly owned shares having voting power may be voted by any joint owner unless the Corporation receives written notice from any one of them denying the authority of that Person to vote those shares.
(i)Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another Person or Persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it
    
4

is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may remain irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.
(j)Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The chairman of the meeting may designate one or more Persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails or is unable to act. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and certify the inspectors’ determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other Persons to assist the inspectors in the performance of the duties of the inspectors. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
(k)Remote Communications. Stockholders may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communication equipment or another suitable electronic communications system (including, without limitation, video conferencing or the Internet), if the telephone or other equipment or system permits each person to participate in the meeting.
Section 2.02Action by Written Consent. Unless expressly prohibited by law, the Certificate, or these Bylaws, the stockholders may take any action without a meeting and without prior notice if a written consent (including facsimile or electronic transmissions) describing the action taken is signed or transmitted by stockholders holding at least the minimum number of votes needed under these Bylaws (and, if applicable, the Stockholders’ Agreement) to approve such action. No signature is required for any e-mail transmission as long as the e-mail is received from a recognized e-mail address of the stockholder sending the e-mail. Prompt notice of the taking of the action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing or by facsimile or electronic transmission. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consent by facsimile or electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

Any such update or supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices no later than five business days after the request by the Corporation for subsequent information has been delivered to the Proposing Stockholder.

(vii)the information required by Section 2.03(b)(vi) above.
(d)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. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders called by the Board at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting:
(i) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof; or
(ii) provided that the Board has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time the notice provided for in this Section 2.03 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.03.
In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder entitled to vote in such election of directors 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 such stockholder delivers a stockholder’s notice that complies with the requirements of Section 2.03(b) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of: (x) the 90th day prior to such special meeting; or (y) the tenth (10th) day following the date of the first Public Disclosure of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the

(e)Effect of Noncompliance. Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03 shall be eligible to be elected at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such other business shall be conducted at a meeting as shall be properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.03. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures of Section 2.03. If any proposed nomination was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.03, or other business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 2.03, then except as otherwise required by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed other business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, unless otherwise required by law, if a Proposing Stockholder intending to propose business or make nominations at an annual meeting or propose a nomination at a special meeting pursuant to this Section 2.03 does not provide the information required under this Section 2.03 to the Corporation, including the updated information required by Section 2.03(b)(vi)(B), Section 2.03(b)(vi)(C), and Section 2.03(b)(vi)(D) within five business days after the record date for such meeting, or the Proposing Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Proposing Stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present the proposed business or nominations, such business or nominations shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business or nominations may have been received by the Corporation.
(f)Rule 14a-8. This Section 2.03 shall not apply to a proposal proposed to be made by a stockholder if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of the stockholder’s intention to present the proposal at an annual or special meeting only pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, but only if the Corporation is then subject to the requirements of Rule 14a-8, and such proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such meeting.

The Person calling the meeting shall make direct contact with each director in order to notify that director of the special meeting; for the avoidance of doubt, direct contact shall mean a person-to-person telephone call with the director or an email correspondence which is responded to by the director personally. If any action is taken at the special meeting, a written description of that action shall be immediately prepared and circulated among all the directors.

12

management directors or any directors that may have a conflict of interest in the matters to be discussed.
(g)Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by these Bylaws, the Certificate, or required by applicable law, the presence of a majority of the entire Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any Board meeting.

13

Any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or who serves or served, at the request of the Corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (each individually, an “Indemnitee”), shall have a right to be indemnified and held harmless under the terms and conditions of this Article 6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person if the proceeding was not authorized in advance by the Board.
    
17

Section 6.02Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Certificate, each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation from and against any Claims arising from any Proceeding relating to or arising out of the Corporation or its management or operations in which the Indemnitee may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status specified in Section 6.01.
Section 6.03Advanced Payment. To the fullest extent permitted by law and the Certificate, the right of indemnification granted by this Article 6 shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law.
Section 6.04Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation, upon approval by the Board, may provide indemnification consistent with the rights set forth in this Article 6 to employees, agents and legal representatives of the Corporation.

Section 6.06Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect any Indemnitee against any Claim, regardless of whether the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such Indemnitee against that Claim under this Article 6. With respect to any proceeds received from an insurance policy purchased to protect a particular Indemnitee in accordance with this Section 6.06, the proceeds shall be applied by the Corporation: (a) first, to satisfy (to the extent possible) any remaining indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee; then: (b) second, to repay the Corporation for any corporate assets it used to satisfy its indemnification obligation to such Indemnitee. Any excess proceeds shall be the sole property of the Corporation and shall be subject to no restrictions regarding corporate usage that may arise out of these Bylaws.
Section 6.07Stockholder Liability.

In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the stockholders of the Corporation to personal or other liability by reason of these indemnification provisions.
Section 6.08Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Article 6 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by, or approved by the Board in accordance with, the terms of these Bylaws or another governing document of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, indemnification under this Article 6 shall only extend to the Indemnitee’s activities with respect to or on behalf of the Corporation and not to the Indemnitee’s other interest, if any, in the transaction.

18

right to indemnification for any other Persons.

Certificates representing shares shall be signed either by original signatures or facsimile signatures by the Chief Executive Officer and by the Secretary, or by such other officer or officers as may be authorized from time to time by resolution of the Board, and, if applicable, shall be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof, if any.

In the event the Corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class, each certificate representing shares issued by the Corporation shall conspicuously state on the face or back of the certificate that a full statement of all the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of the shares of each class authorized to be issued is set forth in the Certificate and that the Corporation will furnish a copy of such statement to the record holder of the certificate without charge on written request to the Corporation at its principal place of business or registered office. All information on each certificate, along with the date of issuance of the shares represented thereby, shall be entered on the share transfer records of the Corporation. All certificates surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except that, in the case of a lost, destroyed or mutilated certificate, a new certificate may be issued therefor upon such terms and indemnity to the Corporation as the Board may prescribe. If shares are uncertificated, the Corporation shall, in accordance with applicable law, after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated shares, send to the registered owner of the uncertificated shares a written notice containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates by these Bylaws or law to be set forth or stated. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of holders of certificates representing shares of the same class and series shall be identical.

Neither the Corporation nor any of the Corporation’s directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for regarding that Person as the owner of those shares at that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that Person does not possess a certificate for those shares.
