ARTICLE II
 
EFFECTS OF THE MERGERS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
 
Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock and Membership Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the GigOptix Effective Time or the Lumera Effective Time, as applicable, by virtue of the GigOptix Merger or the Lumera Merger, as applicable, and without any action on the part of any party or the members or holders of any shares of capital stock of any party:
 
(a) Conversion of GigOptix Membership Units. Subject to Section 2.1(g) and Section 2.1(h), each GigOptix Membership Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the GigOptix Effective Time, other than any GigOptix Membership Units to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b), shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive (i) a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued as Lumera Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(d), as such number may be adjusted from time to time, by (y) the aggregate number of GigOptix Membership Units outstanding plus GigOptix Membership Units issuable upon exercise of GigOptix Options (the “GigOptix Exchange Ratio”) (such shares of Company Common Stock, the “GigOptix Common Stock Merger Consideration”), (ii) the Company A Warrants (the “Company A Warrants Merger Consideration”), (iii) the Company B Warrants (the “Company B Warrants Merger Consideration”) and (iv) the Company C Warrants (the “Company C Warrants Merger Consideration” and, together with the GigOptix Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Company A Warrants Merger Consideration and the Company B Warrants Merger Consideration, the “GigOptix Merger Consideration”). As a result of the GigOptix Merger, at the GigOptix Effective Time, each holder of a GigOptix Certificate (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except that such GigOptix Certificate shall represent only the right to receive the GigOptix Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the GigOptix Membership Units represented by such GigOptix Certificate immediately prior to the GigOptix Effective Time, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), all to be issued or paid, without interest, in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such GigOptix Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed GigOptix Certificate, Section 2.2(i)).
 
(b) Cancellation of Membership Units. Each GigOptix Membership Unit that is owned by GigOptix, Lumera or the Company shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
 
(c) Conversion of Merger Sub G Membership Units. Each Merger Sub G membership unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the GigOptix Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable membership unit of the GigOptix Surviving Company.
 
(d) Conversion of Lumera Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.1(g) and Section 2.1(h), each share of Lumera Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time, other than any shares of Lumera Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e), shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive 0.25 (the “Lumera Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock (the “Lumera Merger Consideration” and together with the GigOptix Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). As a result of the Lumera Merger, at the Lumera Effective Time, each holder of a Lumera Certificate (as defined in Section 2.2(b)) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except that such Lumera Certificate shall represent only the right to receive the Lumera Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of the shares of Lumera Common Stock represented by such Lumera Certificate immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), all to be issued or paid, without interest, in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Lumera Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Lumera Certificate, Section 2.2(i)).
 
6

 
(e) Cancellation of Shares. Each share of Lumera Common Stock that is owned by GigOptix, Lumera or the Company shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
 
(f) Conversion of Merger Sub L Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub L issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Lumera Surviving Corporation.
 
(g) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Company Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Mergers, but in lieu thereof each holder of Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all shares of Company Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificate or Certificates (as defined in Section 2.2(b)), receive from the Company an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of: (i) the fractional share interest (after aggregating all shares of Company Common Stock that would otherwise be received by such holder) which such holder would otherwise receive, multiplied by (ii) the average of the closing prices of one share of Lumera Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date.
 
(h) Adjustments to Exchange Ratios.
 
(i) So as to maintain the relative proportionate interests of the holders of the Lumera Common Stock and the GigOptix Membership Units in the Company Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time intended by this Agreement as of the date hereof, the Lumera Exchange Ratio, the Lumera Merger Consideration, the GigOptix Exchange Ratio and the GigOptix Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any issuance of Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units permitted under Section 4.1(a)(ii) (including, without limitation, shares of Lumera Common Stock issued in a financing or GigOptix Membership Units issued as consideration for the conversion of debt owed to any GigOptix member) or stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Lumera Common Stock, GigOptix Membership Units or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares, or other similar change with respect to Lumera Common Stock, GigOptix Membership Units or Company Common Stock having a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
 
7

 
(ii) GigOptix and Lumera agree that they will review together the trading prices in the Lumera Common Stock in the period following public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with a view to assessing the ability of the Company Common Stock to satisfy the $5.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for initial listing of the Company Common Stock on The NASDAQ Global Market (the “Minimum Trading Price Test”). If, based on such trading prices, it appears reasonably likely that the trading prices of the Company Common Stock would fail to meet the Minimum Trading Price Test, GigOptix and Lumera will decrease both the GigOptix Exchange Ratio and the Lumera Exchange Ratio, in such a manner as shall maintain the relative proportionate interests of the holders of the Lumera Common Stock and the GigOptix Membership Units in the Company Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time intended by this Agreement as of the date hereof, so as to decrease the total number of shares of Company Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers and thereby increase the expected trading prices for the Company Common Stock to a level sufficient to meet the Minimum Trading Price Test. More than one adjustment to the GigOptix Exchange Ratio and the Lumera Exchange Ratio may be made under this Section 2.1(h)(ii). GigOptix and Lumera will determine whether any such adjustment should be made both before the mailing of the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 3.1(e)) and before the Lumera Stockholders’ Meeting (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) is held, and may make any such adjustment even if such an adjustment would require a postponement of the Lumera Stockholders’ Meeting and the preparation, clearance with the SEC (as defined in Section 3.1(e)) and mailing of supplemental proxy materials. 
 
(i) Stock Options, Warrants and Rights.
 
(i) At the Effective Time, each then outstanding Lumera Option, each then outstanding Lumera Warrant and each then outstanding GigOptix Option, in each case, whether or not vested or exercisable at the Effective Time, shall be assumed by the Company and converted into an option, right or warrant, as applicable, to purchase Company Common Stock on the same terms and conditions applicable to such Lumera Option, Lumera Warrant or GigOptix Option, as applicable (including any applicable option award agreement, warrant instrument or other document evidencing such Lumera Option, Lumera Warrant or GigOptix Option, as applicable), immediately prior to the Effective Time, including existing vesting and exercisability provisions, except that:
 
(A) each assumed Lumera Option or each assumed Lumera Warrant, as applicable, when exercisable, shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Lumera Common Stock that were subject to such assumed Lumera Option or assumed Lumera Warrant, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Lumera Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share;
 
(B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each assumed Lumera Option or each assumed Lumera Warrant, as applicable, shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Lumera Common Stock of each assumed Lumera Option or each assumed Lumera Warrant, as applicable, by the Lumera Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent;
 
8

 
(C) each assumed GigOptix Option, when exercisable, shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Company Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of GigOptix Membership Units that were subject to such assumed GigOptix Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the GigOptix Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and
 
(D) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such assumed GigOptix Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price of GigOptix Membership Units of such assumed GigOptix Option by the GigOptix Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any Lumera Option or GigOptix Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code into an option to purchase Company Common Stock shall be made so as not to constitute a “modification” of such Lumera Option or GigOptix Option within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.
 
(ii) Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall assume the Lumera Stock Plan only to the extent that the Lumera Options which shall be assumed by the Company and converted into awards relating to the Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1(i) were issued pursuant to the Lumera Stock Plan. Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall assume the GigOptix Plan only to the extent that the GigOptix Options which shall be assumed by the Company and converted into awards relating to the Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1(i) were issued pursuant to the GigOptix Plan.
 
(iii) Each of Lumera and GigOptix shall take all corporate action necessary, so that, as of the Effective Time, (1) each Lumera Option, each Lumera Warrant, each GigOptix Option is treated in accordance with the applicable provisions of Sections 2.1(i)(A), (i)(B), (i)(C) and (i)(D) and (2) assuming approval of the New Equity Plan pursuant to Section 5.13(b), each of the Lumera Stock Plan and the GigOptix Plan shall terminate to the extent such plan is not assumed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(i). As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Company shall (A) issue to each holder of an assumed Lumera Option, an assumed Lumera Warrant or an assumed GigOptix Option, a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Lumera Option, Lumera Warrant or GigOptix Option, as applicable, and (B) issue appropriate notices setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to the foregoing awards, including the effect of the Mergers on such awards. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock for delivery in connection with the exercise or settlement of the assumed Lumera Options, assumed Lumera Warrants and assumed GigOptix Options. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, subject to applicable SEC rules and regulations, the Company shall register the offering and sale by the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the assumed Lumera Options and assumed GigOptix Options on Form S-8 (or any successor form), and the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements with respect thereto for so long as such awards remain outstanding.
 
9

 
(iv) Each of the Company, Lumera and GigOptix shall take all corporate action necessary to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, all option awards and warrants are assumed by the Company.
 
(j) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(d), each share of Lumera Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Lumera Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such share of Lumera Common Stock in accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive the Lumera Merger Consideration to be paid with respect to such share of Lumera Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(d) but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such share pursuant to the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal. If, after the Lumera Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such share shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Lumera Effective Time into a right to receive the Lumera Merger Consideration to be paid with respect to such share pursuant to Section 2.1(d). The Company shall control all negotiations and proceedings and any settlement of such demands shall be an obligation of the Company.
 
(k) Cancellation of Company Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock held by Lumera immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
 
Section 2.2 Exchange of Shares and Certificates.
 
(a) Exchange Agent. As of the Effective Time, the Company shall engage an institution reasonably satisfactory to GigOptix and Lumera (and Lumera’s transfer agent shall be deemed satisfactory to GigOptix and Lumera) to act as exchange agent in connection with the Mergers (the “Exchange Agent”), pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to GigOptix and Lumera. At the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Lumera Common Stock and GigOptix Membership Units immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time and the GigOptix Effective Time, respectively, certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(d). In addition, the Company shall make available by depositing with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, cash in an amount sufficient to make the payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or distributions to which former holders of Lumera Common Stock and of GigOptix Membership Units may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(c).

10

 
(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within ten business days after the Effective Time, Lumera shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, as applicable, represented outstanding shares of Lumera Common Stock (the “Lumera Certificates”) or of GigOptix Membership Units (the “GigOptix Certificates” and, together with the Lumera Certificates, the “Certificates”), which at the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, as applicable, were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and that risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to GigOptix and Lumera) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing whole shares of Company Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Company Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates surrendered by such holder) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 (which shall be in uncertificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested), payment by cash or check in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units which is not registered in the transfer records of Lumera or GigOptix, respectively, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Company Common Stock may be issued to a Person (as defined in Section 8.3(v)) other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes (as defined in Section 3.1(j)(xi)) required by reason of the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, as applicable, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(g) or Section 2.2(c)) upon such surrender. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.1(g) or Section 2.2(c).
 
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. All shares of Company Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Mergers shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by the Company in respect of Company Common Stock, the record date for which dividend or other distribution is after the Effective Time, such declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Company Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.1(g), until such Certificate has been surrendered in accordance with this Article II. Subject to Applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be delivered to the record holder thereof, without interest, (i) promptly after such surrender, the number of whole shares of Company Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor pursuant to this Article II, together with any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Company Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Company Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Company Common Stock.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units. All shares of Company Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II and any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.1(g) or Section 2.2(c) shall be deemed to have been issued (or paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units, as applicable, previously represented by such Certificates. After the Lumera Effective Time and the GigOptix Effective Time, the transfer books and records of Lumera and GigOptix, respectively, shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Lumera Surviving Corporation or the GigOptix Surviving Company, respectively, of the shares of Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units, respectively, which were outstanding immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, respectively. If, after the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, respectively, Certificates are presented to the Lumera Surviving Corporation or the GigOptix Surviving Company, respectively, or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.
 
(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Company for delivery of their claim for the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
 
(f) No Liability. None of the Company, Lumera, GigOptix or the Exchange Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Lumera Certificate or GigOptix Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to seven years after the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, respectively, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any shares of Company Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Company Common Stock or any dividends or distributions with respect to Company Common Stock issuable in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 8.3(l)), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, become the property of the Company, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.
 
12

 
(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Company, provided that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to former stockholders or members of Lumera or GigOptix after the Effective Time pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to this Article II shall promptly be paid to the Company.
 
(h) Withholding Rights. The Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of Lumera Common Stock or GigOptix Membership Units immediately prior to the Lumera Effective Time or the GigOptix Effective Time, respectively, such amounts as the Company or the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Company or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.
 
(i) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Company Common Stock as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(d), cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c); provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or a bond in such sum as the Company may reasonably direct as indemnity, against any claim that may be made against the Company or the Exchange Agent in respect of the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Exchange Agent shall have the right to require any Person to pay to the Company and the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, an amount of cash equal to the withholding Tax imposed with respect to such Person as the result of a transaction in this Agreement prior to, and as a condition to, the transfer to such Person of the Merger Consideration or other applicable consideration.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Laws in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of this Corporation.
 
1. Common Stock.

B. Each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of such series to have such terms as stated or expressed herein or in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided. Any shares of Preferred Stock which may be redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law or this Certificate of Incorporation. Different series of Preferred Stock shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided.
 
Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors from time to time to issue the Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of the shares thereof, to determine and fix such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL.

Except as otherwise provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the designation or issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.
 
Unless otherwise specifically provided in the resolution establishing any series, the Board of Directors shall further have the authority, after the issuance of shares of a series whose number it has designated, to amend the resolution establishing such series to decrease the number of shares of that series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding).



ARTICLE V

A. The number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be not fewer than two and not more than ten. The number of directors initially shall be seven. Vacancies and newly-created directorships shall be filled exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

The initial Class I Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; the initial Class II Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation; and the initial Class III Directors shall serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation. Each director in each class shall hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the filing of this Certificate of Incorporation, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in the third year following the year of their election, with each director in each such class to hold office until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

ARTICLE VI 
 
In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, the Board is expressly authorized to make, alter and repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the power of the stockholders of the Corporation to alter or repeal any bylaw whether adopted by them or otherwise.
 
ARTICLE VII 
 
A.

B. Except as provided in paragraph C or paragraph D of this Article, the provisions in the following Articles may be amended or repealed only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and, to the extent, if any, provided by resolution adopted by the Board authorizing the issuance of a class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two thirds of the outstanding shares of such class or series, voting as a separate voting group:

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph B of this Article, and except as provided in paragraph D of this Article, an amendment or repeal of an Article identified in paragraph B of this Article that is approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors (as hereinafter defined), voting separately and as a subclass of directors, shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and, to the extent, if any, provided by resolution adopted by the Board authorizing the issuance of a class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or required by the provisions of the DGCL, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series, voting as a separate voting group.



ARTICLE VIII 
 
To the fullest extent that the DGCL or any other law of the State of Delaware as it exists on the date hereof or as it may hereafter be amended permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors, no director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. No amendment to, or modification or repeal of, this provision shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing hereunder with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended.
 
ARTICLE IX 
 
The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to, and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnitee”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or an officer of the Corporation, 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, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify, or advance expenses to, an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.
 
Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VIII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VIII, in respect of any matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit, claim or proceeding that, but for this Article VIII, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.
 
ARTICLE X 
 
The directors of this Corporation may be removed only for cause; such removal shall be by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the shares entitled to elect the director or directors whose removal is sought in the manner provided by the Bylaws.
 
Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws of the Corporation shall so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by written ballot.
 
ARTICLE XI 
 
In addition to any affirmative vote required by law, by this Certificate of Incorporation or otherwise, any “Business Combination” (as hereinafter defined) involving this Corporation shall be subject to approval in the manner set forth in this Article XI.

(2) “Continuing Director” means any member of the Board of Directors who was a member of the Board of Directors on March 31, 2008 or who is elected to the Board of Directors after March 31, 2008 upon the recommendation of a majority of the Continuing Directors voting separately and as a subclass of directors on such recommendation.



(3) “Subsidiary” means a domestic or foreign corporation, a majority of the outstanding voting shares of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by this Corporation.
 
B. Except as provided in paragraphs C and D of this Article, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and, to the extent, if any, provided by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of a class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or required by the provisions of the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of such class or series, voting as a separate voting group, shall be required for the adoption or authorization of a Business Combination.
 
C. Notwithstanding paragraph B hereof, if a Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, voting separately and as a subclass of directors, and if such Business Combination is otherwise required to be approved by this Corporation’s stockholders pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL or of this Certificate of Incorporation other than this Article, then the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and, to the extent, if any, provided by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance of a class or series of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or required by the provisions of the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series, voting as a separate voting group, shall be required for the adoption or authorization of such Business Combination.
 
D. Notwithstanding paragraphs B or C of this Article, if a Business Combination shall have been approved by a majority of the Continuing Directors, voting separately and as a subclass of directors, and if such Business Combination is not otherwise required to be approved by this Corporation’s stockholders pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL or of this Certificate of Incorporation other than this Article, then no vote of the stockholders of this Corporation shall be required for approval of such Business Combination.
 
ARTICLE XII 
 
Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time and for any purpose by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. Further, a special meeting of the stockholders shall be held if the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on the issue proposed to be considered at such special meeting have dated, signed and delivered to the Secretary one or more written demands for such meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held.

(a Delaware corporation)
 
Amended and Restated as of March __, 2008

ARTICLE 1 - STOCKHOLDERS
 
1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, or, if so determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, at no place (but rather by means of remote communication), as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or the President or, if not so designated, at the principal executive office of the Corporation.
 
1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held at such date and time as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these By-Laws to the annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.
 
To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (a) brought by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) brought before the meeting by a stockholder pursuant to written notice thereof, in accordance with Section 1.12 hereof, and received by the Secretary not fewer than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting; provided that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the tenth (10th) day following the day on which the notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. No business shall be conducted at any annual meeting of stockholders except in accordance with this Section 1.2. If the facts warrant, the Board of Directors, or the chairman of an annual meeting of stockholders, may determine and declare that (x) that a proposal does not constitute proper business to be transacted at the meeting or (y) that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.2 and, if, in either case, it is so determined, any such business shall not be transacted. In addition to the procedures set forth in this Section 1.2, stockholders desiring to include a proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement must also comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provision.
 
1.3 Special Meeting. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors. Further, a special meeting of the stockholders shall be held if the holders of not less than twenty-five (25) percent of all the votes entitled to be cast on the issue proposed to be considered at such special meeting have dated, signed and delivered to the Secretary one or more written demands for such meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held. Any business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.



1.4 Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law, written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting; provided that notice of a meeting to act on an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, a plan of merger or share exchange, the sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets other than in the ordinary course of business or the dissolution of the Corporation shall be given not less than twenty (20) nor more than sixty (60) days before such meeting. The notices of all meetings shall state the place, if any, the date, 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 meeting, and the hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given either personally or by mail, electronic mail, telecopy, telegram or other electronic or wireless means. Notices not personally delivered shall be sent charges prepaid and shall be addressed to the stockholder at the address of that stockholder appearing on the books of the Corporation. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or at the time of transmission when sent by electronic mail, telecopy, telegram or other electronic or wireless means. An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’ meeting, executed by the secretary, assistant secretary or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving the notice, shall be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice or report. No notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be given to a stockholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting or such adjourned session by such stockholder, is filed with the records of the meeting or if the stockholder attends such meeting without objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be specified in any written waiver of notice.
 
1.5 Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, for any purpose germane to the meeting on either a reasonably accessible electronic network (for which such information required to access the electronic network shall be provided with the notice of the meeting) or, during ordinary business hours, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
 
1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, by means of remote communication, if authorized, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
 
1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these By-Laws by the stockholders present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum, or, if no stockholder is present, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as secretary of such meeting. It shall not be necessary to notify any stockholder of any adjournment of less than thirty (30) days if the time and place of the adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which adjournment is taken, unless after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
 
1.8 Voting. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of capital stock entitled to vote and held of record by such stockholder, unless otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person or by electronic means, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or, except when the matter is the election of directors, may vote them against the proposal; but if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares which the stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares which the stockholder is entitled to vote.



1.9 Proxy Representation. Every stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, objecting to or voting or participating at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. The delivery of a proxy on behalf of a stockholder consistent with telephonic or electronically transmitted instructions obtained pursuant to procedures of the Corporation reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have been authorized by such stockholder shall constitute execution and delivery of the proxy by or on behalf of the stockholder. No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such 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 is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made 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. The authorization of a proxy may but need not be limited to specified action, provided, however, that if a proxy limits its authorization to a meeting or meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise specifically provided such proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any adjourned session but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof. A proxy purporting to be authorized by or on behalf of a stockholder, if accepted by the Corporation in its discretion, shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise, and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.
 
1.10 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, action on a matter shall be approved by a voting group if the votes cast within a voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the By-Laws. No ballot shall be required for any election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election.
 
1.11 Action without Meetings. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders for or in connection with any corporate action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing or by telegram or other electronic transmission as authorized by law, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed 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 and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by telegram or other electronic transmission as authorized by law, to its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Each such written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent or shall, in the case of electronic transmissions, be in compliance with law. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a number of stockholders sufficient to take such action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner specified in this paragraph within sixty days of the earliest dated consent so delivered. Action taken by written consent of the stockholders without a meeting shall be effective when all required consents are in the possession of the Corporation, unless the consent specifies a later effective date.
 
If action is taken by consent of stockholders and in accordance with the foregoing, there shall be filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders the writing, writings, telegrams or electronic transmissions comprising such consent.
 
If action is taken by less than unanimous consent of stockholders, prompt notice of the taking of such action without a meeting shall be given to those who have not consented in writing and a certificate signed and attested to by the secretary that such notice was given shall be filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders.
 
In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, if such action had been voted upon by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning a vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given under Section 228 of said General Corporation Law and that written notice has been given as provided in such Section 228.
 
1.12 Notice to Corporation. Any written notice required to be delivered by a stockholder to the Corporation pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3 must be given, either by personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal executive offices. Any such stockholder notice shall set forth (i) the name and address of the stockholder proposing such business; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is entitled to vote at such meeting and a statement of the number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by the stockholder; (iii) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business; and (iv) as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, the language of the proposal (if appropriate), and any material interest of the stockholder in such business.



ARTICLE 2 - DIRECTORS
 
2.1 General Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a Board of Directors, who may exercise all of the powers of the Corporation except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. In the event of a vacancy in the Board of Directors, the remaining directors, except as otherwise provided by law, may exercise the powers of the full Board of Directors until the vacancy is filled.
 
2.2 Number; Election and Qualification. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be seven (7), unless otherwise determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than four (4) or more than nine (9). The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of stockholders by such stockholders as have the right to vote on such election. The directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

Unless otherwise designated in the Merger Agreement, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations for the election of directors may be made (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any stockholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors at such meeting; provided, however, that a stockholder may nominate persons for election as directors only if written notice of such stockholder’s intention to make such nominations is received by the Secretary not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of the shareholders, not fewer than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a special meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors, the close of business on the seventh (7th) business day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to stockholders. Any such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make a nomination; (b) a representation that the stockholder is entitled to vote at such meeting and a statement of the number of shares of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by the shareholder; (c) a representation that the stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice; (d) as to each person the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, the name and address of such person and such other information regarding such nominee as would be required in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission had such nominee been nominated by the Board of Directors, and a description of any arrangements or understandings, between the stockholder and such nominee and any other persons (including their names), pursuant to which the nomination is to be made; and (e) the consent of each such nominee to serve as a director if elected. If the facts warrant, the Board of Directors, or the chairman of a stockholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected, may determine and declare that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure and, if it is so determined, the defective nomination shall be disregarded. The right of stockholders to make nominations pursuant to the foregoing procedure is subject to the superior rights, if any, of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the common stock. The procedures set forth in this Section 2.2 for nomination for the election of directors by stockholders are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any procedures now in effect or hereafter adopted by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof.
 
2.3 Terms of Office. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, respectively. At the first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the transactions described in the Merger Agreement (the "Merger"), the term of office of the Class I directors shall expire and Class I directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the second annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Merger, the term of office of the Class II directors shall expire and Class II directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At the third annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Merger, the term of office of the Class III directors shall expire and Class III directors shall be elected for a full term of three years. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. The ending date of the term for each director shall be extended to allow for the election and qualification of his or her successor or accelerated in the event of his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.



The initial directors for the Corporation shall be designated in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

2.4 Vacancies. Any vacancy in the Board of Directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of the Board of Directors, may be filled for the remainder of the term by the Board of Directors, by the stockholders, or, if the directors in office constitute less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, or by a sole remaining director. A director chosen to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office; provided, however, that the ending date of the term for each director shall be extended to allow for the election and qualification of his or her successor or accelerated in the event of his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.
 
2.5 Resignation. Any director may resign by delivering his or her written resignation to the Corporation at its principal office or to the President or Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event.
 
2.6 Regular Meetings. The regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. A regular meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders.
 
2.7 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, designated in a call by the Chairman of the Board, the President, two or more directors, or by one director in the event that there is only a single director in office.
 
2.8 Notice of Special Meetings. Any special meeting of the Board of Directors must be preceded by at least two days’ notice of the date, time, and place of the meeting, but not of its purpose, unless the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws require otherwise. Notice may be given personally, by facsimile, by mail, or in any other manner allowed by law. Oral notice shall be sufficient only if a written record of such notice is included in the Corporation’s minute book. Notice shall be deemed effective at the earliest of: (a) receipt; (b) delivery to the proper address or telephone number of the director as shown in the Corporation’s records; or (c) five days after its deposit in the United States mail, as evidenced by the postmark, if correctly addressed and mailed with first-class postage prepaid. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors may be waived by any director at any time, by a signed writing, delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes, either before or after the meeting. Attendance or participation by a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of any required notice of the meeting unless the director promptly objects to holding the meeting or to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully convened and the director does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.
 
2.9 Meetings by Telephone Conference Calls. Any meeting of the Board of Directors may be held by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another; and all persons participating in such a meeting shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.
 
2.10 Quorum. Fifty (50) percent of the number of directors presently in office shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the event one or more of the directors shall be disqualified to vote at any meeting, then the required quorum shall be reduced by one for each such director so disqualified; provided, however, that in no case shall less than one-third (1/3) of the number of directors of the whole Board constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice, other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
 
2.11 Action at Meeting. At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present shall be sufficient to take any action, unless a different vote is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors when action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his or her arrival, to holding it or to transacting business at the meeting; (b) the director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (c) the director delivers written notice of his or her dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation within a reasonable time after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.



2.12 Action by Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission and such writings or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee of the Board of Directors. Such filings 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. Such action shall be effective upon the signing of a consent by the last director to sign, unless the consent specifies a later effective date.

2.13 Removal. The directors of the Corporation may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to elect the director or directors whose removal is sought at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose.
 
2.14 Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by the directors or in such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these By-Laws for the Board of Directors.
 
2.15 Compensation of Directors. The directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.
 
ARTICLE 3 - OFFICERS
 
3.1 Enumeration. The officers of the Corporation shall consist of such officers and assistant officers with such titles as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors. The officers may include a Chairman of the Board, a President, a Chief Executive Officer, one or more Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary, and any assistant officers. Unless otherwise restricted by the Board of Directors, the President may appoint any assistant officer, the Treasurer may appoint one or more Assistant Treasurers, and the Secretary may appoint one or more Assistant Secretaries; provided that any such appointments shall be recorded in writing in the corporate records.

3.5 Resignation and Removal. Any officer may resign by delivering his written resignation to the Corporation at its principal office or to the President or Secretary. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. Any officer may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by vote of the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting.
 
Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, no officer who resigns or is removed shall have any right to any compensation as an officer for any period following his resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal, whether his compensation be by the month or by the year or otherwise, unless such compensation is expressly provided in a duly authorized written agreement with the Corporation.



3.6 Vacancies. The Board of Directors may fill any vacancy occurring in any office for any reason and may, in its discretion, leave unfilled for such period as it may determine any offices. Each such successor shall hold office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK
 
4.1 Issuance of Stock. Unless otherwise voted by the stockholders and subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation or the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the Corporation held in its treasury may be issued, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in such manner, for such consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine.
 
4.2 Certificates of Stock. Every holder of stock of the Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as may be prescribed by law and by the Board of Directors, certifying the number and class of shares owned in the Corporation. Each such certificate shall be signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, the Chairman or Vice Chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors, or the President or a Vice President, and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile.



Each certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, applicable securities laws or any agreement among any number of stockholders or among such holders and the Corporation shall have conspicuously noted on the face or back of the certificate either the full text of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restriction.
 
4.3 Consideration for Shares. Shares of the Corporation may be issued for such consideration as shall be determined by the Board of Directors to be adequate. The consideration for the issuance of shares may be paid in whole or in part in cash, or in any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the Corporation, including but not limited to promissory notes, services performed, contracts for services to be performed, or other securities of the Corporation. Establishment by the Board of Directors of the amount of consideration received or to be received for shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a determination that the consideration so established is adequate.
 
4.4 Transfers. Except as otherwise established by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, and subject to applicable law, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the Corporation by the surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate representing such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, and with such proof of authority or the authenticity of signature as the Corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock, until the shares have been transferred on the books of the Corporation in accordance with the requirements of these By-Laws.
 
4.5 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event of the loss or destruction of any certificate, a new certificate may be issued in lieu thereof upon satisfactory proof of such loss or destruction, and upon the giving of security against loss to the Corporation by bond, indemnity or otherwise, to the extent deemed necessary by the Board of Directors, the Secretary, or the Treasurer.
 
4.6 Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action. Such record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action to which such record date relates.
 
If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.
 
A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
 
ARTICLE 5 - RECORDS AND REPORTS
 
5.1 Maintenance and Inspection of Records. The Corporation shall, either at its principal executive office or at such place or places within or without the State of Delaware as designated by the Board of Directors, keep a record of its stockholders listing their names and addresses and the number and class of shares held by each stockholder, a copy of these By-Laws as amended to date, accounting books and other records.
 
Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean a purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the Corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.



5.2 Inspection by Director. Any director shall have the right to examine the Corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director. The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with the exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a director is entitled to the inspection sought. The Court may summarily order the Corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
 
5.3 Representation of Shares of Other Corporations. The President or any other officer of this Corporation authorized by the Board of Directors is authorized to vote, represent, and exercise on behalf of this Corporation all rights incident to any and all shares of any other corporation or corporations standing in the name of this Corporation. The authority herein granted may be exercised either by such person directly or by any other person authorized to do so by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by such person having the authority.
 
ARTICLE 6 - INDEMNIFICATION
 
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, while a director or officer of the Corporation, 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”), where the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity 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 hereof 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.
 
6.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.1 shall include 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 such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.



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.
 
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 By-Laws, or any statute, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
 
6.5 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation 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.

ARTICLE 7 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
7.1 Fiscal Year. Except as from time to time otherwise designated by the Board of Directors, the fiscal year of the Corporation shall begin on the first day of January in each year and end on the last day of December in each year.
 
7.2 Corporate Seal. The corporate seal shall be in such form as shall be approved by the Board of Directors.
 
7.3 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice whatsoever is required to be given by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws, a waiver of such notice either in writing signed by the person entitled to such notice or such person’s duly authorized attorney, or by telegraph, cable, electronic mail or any other available method, whether before, at or after the time stated in such waiver, or the appearance of such person or persons at such meeting in person, by means of remote communications, if authorized, or by proxy shall be deemed equivalent to such notice. Where such an appearance is made for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened, the appearance shall not be deemed equivalent to notice.
 
7.4 Checks; Drafts; Evidences of Indebtedness. From time to time, the Board of Directors shall determine by resolution which person or persons may sign or endorse all checks, drafts, other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness that are issued in the name of or payable to the Corporation, and only the persons so authorized shall sign or endorse those instruments.
 
7.5 Corporate Contracts and Instruments; How Executed. The Board of Directors, except as otherwise provided in these By-Laws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the board of directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.
 
7.6 Evidence of Authority. A certificate by the Secretary, or an Assistant Secretary under Section 3.10, as to any action taken by the stockholders, directors, a committee or any officer or representative of the Corporation shall, as to all persons who rely on the certificate in good faith, be conclusive evidence of such action.



7.7 Certificate of Incorporation. All references in these By-Laws to the Certificate of Incorporation shall be deemed to refer to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended or restated and in effect from time to time.
 
7.8 Construction; Definitions. Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the Delaware General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these By-Laws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, (a) the singular number includes the plural, and the plural number includes the singular; (b) the term “person” includes both a corporation and a natural person; and (c) all pronouns include the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.
 
7.9 Provisions Additional to Provisions of Law. All restrictions, limitations, requirements and other provisions of these By-Laws shall be construed, insofar as possible, as supplemental and additional to all provisions of law applicable to the subject matter thereof and shall be fully complied with in addition to the said provisions of law unless such compliance shall be illegal.
 
7.10 Provisions Contrary to Provisions of Law; Severability. Any article, section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of these By-Laws [which upon being construed in the manner provided in Section 7.10 hereof], shall be contrary to or inconsistent with any applicable provisions of law, shall not apply so long as said provisions of law shall remain in effect, but such result shall not affect the validity or applicability of any other portions of these By-Laws, it being hereby declared that these By-Laws would have been adopted and each article, section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more articles, sections, subsections, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases is or are illegal.
 
7.11 Notices. Any reference in these By-Laws to the time a notice is given or sent means, unless otherwise expressly provided, the time a written notice by mail is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid; or the time any other written notice is personally delivered to the recipient or is delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the recipient; or the time any oral notice is communicated, in person or by telephone or wireless, to the recipient or to a person at the office of the recipient who the person giving the notice has reason to believe will promptly communicate it to the recipient.

The undersigned hereby agrees with the Company that, during the period ending 180 days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Company Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Company Common Stock, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Company Common Stock, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Company Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Company.

Any Company Common Stock received by the undersigned upon exercise of stock options granted to the undersigned will also be subject to this Letter Agreement. Any Company Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in open market transactions will not be subject to this Letter Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer Company Common Stock as follows:

Very truly yours,
