The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within thirty (30) days after the date on which a valid request to fix a Demand Record Date is received, adopt a resolution fixing the Demand Record Date and shall make a public announcement of such Demand Record Date. If no Demand Record Date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within thirty (30) days after the date on which such request is received by the Secretary, the Demand Record Date shall be the 30th day after the first day on which a valid written request to set a Demand Record Date is received by the Secretary. To be valid, such written request from a stockholder entitled to demand a Special Meeting (a “Demand Request”) shall set forth the purpose or purposes for which the Special Meeting is to be held, shall be signed by one or more stockholders of record (or their duly authorized proxies or other representatives), shall bear the date of signature of each such stockholder (or proxy or other representative) and shall set forth all information about each such stockholder and about the beneficial owner or owners, if any, on whose behalf the request is made that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice described in Section 2.2(b).

Except as provided in the next sentence, if any stockholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time, and place, if the new date, time, and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment.

If the purpose of the meeting, or one of its purposes, is to consider a proposed reduction of stated capital without amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, or voluntary dissolution or revocation of a voluntary dissolution by act of the Corporation, or a proposed disposition of all (or substantially all) of the assets of the Corporation outside of the ordinary course of business, the notice of the meeting shall state such purpose.

Section 2.5Fixing of Record Date.
(a)The Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for any determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a stockholders’ meeting, such date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting. In the case of any Special Meeting called by the stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of these Bylaws, if the Board of Directors fails to fix the Demand Record Date within thirty (30) days after the Secretary received a valid written request from the stockholders to set a Demand Record Date, then the close of business on such 30th day shall be the Demand Record Date. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in these Bylaws, such determination shall be applied to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date and except as otherwise required by law. A new record date must be set if a meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
(b)The Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such payment. If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution (other than a distribution involving a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Corporation’s shares), the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board of Directors is adopted declaring the dividend or distribution shall be the record date.

The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall, by the earlier of (a) twenty (20) days after the record date, or (b) ten (10) days before the meeting date, for any meeting of stockholders, make a complete record of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged alphabetically by class or series of shares and showing the address of and the number of shares held by each stockholder. The stockholder list shall be available at the meeting and may be inspected by any
9


stockholder or such stockholder’s agent or attorney at any time during the meeting or any adjournment. Any stockholder or such stockholder’s agent or attorney may inspect the stockholder list beginning ten (10) business days before the meeting date and continuing until the meeting date, at the Corporation’s registered office and, subject to the DGCL, may copy the list, during regular business hours and at such stockholder’s expense, during the period that it is available for inspection hereunder. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open for inspection by any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by applicable law. The stock ledger of the Corporation (if any) shall be prima facie evidence as to the stockholders entitled to inspect the stockholder list or to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at such meeting.
Section 2.7Quorum and Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the DGCL, a majority of the aggregate voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the sole purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that meeting. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders unless the vote of a greater number is required by the DGCL or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation. Unless otherwise required by law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, the election of Directors shall be decided by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of the stockholders by the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat and entitled to vote at the meeting, but no other business shall be transacted until a quorum is present. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or classes or series.
Section 2.8Conduct of Meetings.
(a)At every meeting of stockholders, the Chair, or, if a Chair has not been appointed or is absent, the Chief Executive Officer, or, if the Chief Executive Officer is absent, such person as the Chief Executive Officer shall appoint, shall act as chair of, and preside at, the meeting. The Secretary, or, in the Secretary’s absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the Chief Executive Officer, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
(b)The Board of Directors and (to the extent consistent therewith) the chair of the meeting shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as they shall deem necessary or appropriate. Such rules, regulations or procedures,
10


whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) the determination of when the polls shall open and close for any given matter to be voted on at the meeting; (c) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (d) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall determine; (e) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (f) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Whether or not a quorum is present or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule, or cancel any previously scheduled meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.9Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders 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 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.
Section 2.10Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share shall be entitled to that number of votes specified in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that if no such vote is specified, each outstanding share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, except to the extent that the voting rights of the shares are enlarged, limited or denied by the DGCL. Shares of the Corporation standing in the name of another corporation, whether domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent, or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may provide or, in the absence of any such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine; and any shares voted by an officer, agent, or proxy of such corporation shall be presumed to be voted with due authority in the absence of express notice to the contrary given in writing to the Secretary or other officer of the Corporation. Shares of the Corporation belonging to the Corporation itself shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the stockholders and shall not be considered in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. The voting rights of fiduciaries, beneficiaries, pledgors, pledgees and joint, common and other multiple owners of shares of stock shall be as provided from time to time by the DGCL and any other applicable law.
Section 2.11No Cumulative Voting. In all elections for Directors, no stockholder shall have the right to cumulate their votes for the Directors to be elected except as otherwise specifically provided in the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 2.12Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to any stockholder under the DGCL, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a
11


waiver thereof in writing by the stockholder entitled to such notice, signed at any time before, at or after the time of the meeting, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. A stockholder’s attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, waives objection to both of the following:
(a)Lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the stockholder at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.
(b)Consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose described in the meeting notice, unless the stockholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
Section 2.13Inspectors of Election. The Corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of such inspector’s duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Section 3.2Number, Tenure, and Qualifications . The number of Directors of the Corporation shall be seven (7). The number of Directors may be changed from time to time in
12


accordance with the provisions of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation. Furthermore, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall at all times be a member of the Board of Directors.

Each Director shall hold office until the expiration of the term to which such Director has been elected or appointed and a successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. A Director may resign at any time by delivering a written resignation to the Board of Directors, to the Chair, or to the Corporation through the Secretary or otherwise. Directors need not be residents of the State of Delaware or stockholders of the Corporation. Directors may be re-elected any number of times.
Section 3.4Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors shall be held, without other notice than this Bylaw, immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of the stockholders.

13


deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. If waiver of notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the Director. The attendance of a Director at any meeting of the Board of Directors shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting, except where a Director attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business at the meeting on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.
Section 3.8Quorum. A majority of the total number of Directors fixed by or in the manner provided by these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that if less than a majority of such number of Directors are present, a majority of the Directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice.

The Chair, or in the Chair’s absence, any Director chosen by the Directors present, shall call meetings of the Board of Directors to order and shall chair the meeting.

A Director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of such Director’s predecessor in office and until such Director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such Director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.
Section 3.12Compensation. By resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors then in office, and regardless of the personal interest of any Director, the Board of Directors may establish reasonable compensation of all Directors for services

Section 3.13Committees. By resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of Directors then in office, the Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more Directors designated by the Board of Directors, which, to the extent provided in such resolution (as initially adopted and as thereafter supplemented or amended by further resolution adopted by a like vote) shall have and may exercise (when the Board of Directors is not in session) all of the authority and powers of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation provided, however, that no such committee shall have or exercise the authority or powers of the Board of Directors with respect to the following: (i) approving or adopting, or recommending to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval or (ii) adopting, amending, or repealing any bylaw of the Corporation.

Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of all of the members of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, as the case may be, and may be stated as such in any document filed with the Secretary of State under the DGCL.

CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER
Section 5.1Certificates for Shares. The shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates, in such form as may be determined by the Board of Directors; provided, that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares and evidenced by a book-entry system maintained by the registrar of such stock. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of, the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation. Any or all such signatures may be facsimiles. The name and post office address of the person to whom shares are issued (whether represented by a certificate or uncertificated), with the number of shares and date of issuance, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. All certificates surrendered to the Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificates shall be issued (whether represented by a certificate or uncertificated) until the former certificate for a like number of shares has 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 of Directors may prescribe.
Section 5.2Transfer of Shares. Shares of the Corporation shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by applicable law, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and in these Bylaws. Transfers of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation, and in the case of certificated shares of stock, only by the person named in the certificate or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing and upon the surrender of the certificate therefor, properly endorsed for transfer and payment of all necessary transfer taxes; or, in the case of uncertificated shares of stock, upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered
18


holder of the shares or by such person’s attorney lawfully constituted in writing, and upon payment of all necessary transfer taxes and compliance with appropriate procedures for transferring shares in uncertificated form; provided, however, that such surrender and endorsement, compliance or payment of taxes shall not be required in any case in which an executive officer of the Corporation shall determine to waive such requirement. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the Corporation with a request to register for transfer, the Corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if there were on or with the certificate the necessary endorsements and if the Corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or had discharged any such duty. The Corporation may require reasonable assurance that the endorsements are genuine and effective and in compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors.
With respect to certificated shares of stock, every certificate exchanged, returned or surrendered to the Corporation shall be destroyed or marked “Cancelled,” with the date of cancellation, by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Corporation by an entry showing from and to whom transferred.

Section 5.4Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. Where the owner claims that such owner’s certificate for shares has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, a new certificate shall be issued in place thereof if the owner (a) so requests before the Corporation has notice that such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser; and (b) if required by the Corporation, files with the Corporation a sufficient indemnity bond; and (c) satisfies such other reasonable requirements as may be prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.
Section 5.5Consideration For Shares. The consideration for subscriptions to or the purchase of capital stock to be issued by the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time and determined to be adequate by the Board of Directors, provided that any shares having a par value shall not be issued for a consideration less than the par value thereof. The consideration may consist of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the Corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed, or other securities of the Corporation. When the Corporation receives the consideration for which the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of shares as provided above, such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable.
Section 5.6Stock Regulations. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations not inconsistent with the statutes of the State of Delaware as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of the Corporation, including the appointment or designation of one or more stock transfer agents and one or more registrars.
