The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of the members of the Board of Directors (the “Directors” and each a “Director”) and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held each year, at such place, if any, and on such date and at such time, as may be fixed from time to time by resolution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the Board (the “Chairman”) or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors.

Section 3. Stockholder Action by Written Consent.

(a) Any action required or permitted to be taken at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote of stockholders, if a consent or consents in writing or electronic transmission, setting forth the action so taken, are: (i) given by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted (but not less than the minimum number of votes otherwise prescribed by law) and (ii) delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent so delivered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, stockholders may not elect directors by written or electronic consent.

(b) If a stockholder action by written consent or electronic transmission is permitted under these By-Laws and the Certificate of Incorporation, and the Board of Directors has not fixed a record date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to participate in such consent to be given, then: (i) if the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as may be amended from time to time (the “DGCL”) does not require action by the Board of Directors prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be the first date on which a

consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 3(a)(ii) of Article II of these By-Laws; and (ii) if the DGCL requires action by the Board of Directors prior to the proposed stockholder action, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution approved by a majority of the Board of Directors taking such prior action. Every written consent to action without a meeting shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and shall be valid if timely delivered to the Corporation at any of the locations referred to in Section 3(a)(ii) of these By-Laws.

(c) The Secretary shall give prompt notice of the taking of an action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 4. Place of Meeting; Participation in Meetings by Remote Communication.

(a) The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without Delaware, as the place of meeting for any annual or special meeting. In the absence of any such designation, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Corporation designated in Section 2 of Article I of these By-Laws.

(b) The Board of Directors, acting in its sole discretion, may establish guidelines and procedures in accordance with applicable provisions of the DGCL and any other applicable law for the participation by stockholders and proxyholders in a meeting of stockholders by means of remote communications, and may determine that any meeting of stockholders will not be held at any place but will be held solely by means of remote communication. Stockholders and proxyholders complying with such procedures and guidelines and otherwise entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed present and entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication.

Section 5. Notice of Meetings.

Section 6. Record Date. For the purpose of determining (a) stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or (b) stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or (c) stockholders for any other purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, such date, in the case of clauses (a) and (c): (i) to be not more than sixty days and not less than ten days, or (ii) in the case of a merger or consolidation not less than twenty days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders is to be taken.

Section 7. Quorum. The holders of not less than one-third in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, by remote communication or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

When a quorum is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power present in person, by remote communication or represented by proxy shall be required to approve any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the DGCL or of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these By-Laws, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 8. Procedure. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at every meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the chairman of the meeting.
