Section 1.01Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the stockholders, for the purpose of electing directors and transacting such other business as may come before it, shall be held on such date and at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be specified by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.02Special Meetings.  Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called solely by resolution of the Board of Directors, acting by not less than a majority of the Entire Board.  The term "Entire Board" means the total number of directors the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies on the Board of Directors.

Any special meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such date, time and place as is specified by the Board of Directors.  No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of the stockholders that is not stated in the notice of such meeting.

Section 1.03Notice of Meetings.  Written notice of each stockholders' meeting, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting.

Section 1.04Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, at any meeting of the stockholders a majority of the shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum.

Section 1.05Conduct of Meetings.  The Chairman of the Board shall preside at any meeting of the stockholders.  In the absence of the Chairman, the President shall preside.  In the absence of both persons, such other person as shall have been designated by the chief executive officer or the Board of Directors shall preside.  The order of business at any meeting shall be as determined by the presiding officer.

The presiding officer shall have the power to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such things as in his judgment may be necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time scheduled for the commencement thereof and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

If present, the Secretary shall act as secretary of any meeting of the stockholders.  In the Secretary's absence, such other person as the presiding officer shall designate shall act as secretary of the meeting.

It shall be the duty of the Secretary to prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of the 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 any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.

Section 1.06Voting; Election of Directors.  Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder represented at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder.

Except as provided in Section 2.08 hereof, directors shall be elected by a “majority of votes cast” (as defined herein) at the annual meeting of stockholders to hold office as provided by Section 2.02 hereof, unless the election is contested, in which case directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes cast. An election shall be contested if, as determined by the Board of Directors, the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected. For the purposes of this Section, a “majority of votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director. The following shall not be votes cast: (i) a share otherwise present at the meeting but for which there is an abstention and (ii) a share otherwise present at the meeting as to which a shareholder gives no authority or direction.  Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.  If a director in an uncontested election does not receive a majority of votes cast for his or her election, the director shall, within ten business days of certification of election results, submit to the Board of Directors a letter of resignation for consideration by the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee shall promptly assess the appropriateness of such nominee continuing to serve as a director and recommend to the Board the action to be taken with respect to such tendered resignation. The Board of Directors will determine whether to accept or reject such resignation, or what other action should be taken, within 90 days from the date of the certification of election results.

Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, any other corporate action shall be authorized by a majority of votes cast at the meeting by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon.

Section 1.07Inspectors of Election.  The Board of Directors shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof.  The Board of Directors may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act.  If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board, or in his absence such person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

Section 1.08Record Date.  For the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment or any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action.

Section 1.09Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominees and Proposals.  Subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding preferred stock, nominations for election of directors at an annual meeting or a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors may be made either by the Board of Directors or by any stockholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors who gives advance notice as hereafter provided.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.09, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.09.  Nothing in this Section 1.09 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
