ARTICLE I.
Offices.
      Section 1. Registered Office. The registered office of United Parcel Service, Inc. (hereinafter called the Corporation), in the State of Delaware, shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, or at such other location within the State of Delaware as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation’s registered agent in Delaware shall be Corporation Service Company, subject to change by the Board of Directors which may by resolution appoint, or change, the Corporation’s registered agent in Delaware in the manner and to the extent permitted by Delaware law.
      Section 2. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have an office or offices at such other place or places either within or outside the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation requires.
ARTICLE II.
Meetings of Stockholders.
      Section 1. Meetings of Stockholders for Election of Directors. All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors of the Corporation shall be held at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
      Section 2. Other Meetings of Stockholders. All other meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such date, time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
      Section 3. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock, a special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise proscribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Directors or by a Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting.
      Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a written or printed notice thereof to him or her personally, or by mailing at least ten days before the day on which such meeting is to be held, postage prepaid, to his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting but need not state the purposes thereof except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a

1


 

stockholder, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given, except where expressly required by law.
      Section 5. List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the Secretary or other officer who shall have charge of the stock ledger either directly or through a Transfer Agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and make, at least ten days before every election, complete lists of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. For said ten days such lists shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting in the manner provided by law, and 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 may be present. The original or a duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such lists or the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at such election.
      Section 6. Quorum. At each meeting of the stockholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitling the holders thereof to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation; provided that, in no event shall a quorum consist of less than such number of votes as may be required under the General Corporation Law of Delaware. In the absence of a quorum, any officer entitled to preside or act as Chairman at such meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, until stockholders holding the requisite amount of voting power shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The absence from any meeting of the number required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws for action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meetings upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the number of stockholders required in respect of such other matter or matters shall be present.
      Section 7. Organization. The Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman, or in the absence of both, the President, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order and shall act as Chairman thereof. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman and President, the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes present at the meeting may elect any person present in person to act as Chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders. In the absence from any such meeting of the Secretary and the assistant secretary or secretaries, the Chairman may appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

      Section 8. Business and Order of Business. At each meeting of the stockholders such business may be transacted as may properly be brought before such meeting, whether or not such business is stated in the notice of such meeting or in a waiver of notice thereof except as otherwise expressly required in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or by law. The order of business at all meetings of the stockholders shall be determined by the Chairman.
      Section 9.Voting.
     9.1 Generally.
     Each stockholder of the Corporation shall, except as otherwise required by law, at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to such number of votes, in person or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock of the Corporation registered in his or her name on the books of the Corporation, as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Persons holding in a fiduciary capacity shares having voting rights shall be entitled to vote the shares so held, and persons whose shares of stock having voting rights are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless the pledgor shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon and so notified the Corporation in writing, in which case only the pledgee, or his or her proxy, may represent said shares and vote thereon. Any vote on shares may be given by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his or her proxy appointed by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law, subscribed by such stockholder or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized, and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless said proxy provides for a longer period. Except as otherwise provided by statute, and unless demanded by a stockholder present in person or by proxy at any meeting, and entitled to vote thereat, the vote on any question need not be by ballot.
     9.2 Voting in Director Elections.
     At every meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, duly called and held at which a quorum is present, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast; provided, that if as of a date that is five business days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of this Section 9.2 of Article II, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes ‘for’ a director nominee must exceed the number of votes ‘against’ that director nominee. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote ‘against’ a director nominee.
     9.3 Voting on Other Matters.
     All matters other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless otherwise provided by the rules of any stock

exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed or unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.
      Section 10. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
     10.1 Annual Meeting.
     (1) An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.
     (2) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation (the “Record Stockholder”) at the time of the giving of the notice required in the following paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this subsection 10.1. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (c) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
     (3) For nominations or business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Record Stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the foregoing paragraph, (a) the Record Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (b) any such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law, and (c) the Record Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement required by these Bylaws. To be timely, a Record Stockholder’s notice shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary (the “Anniversary”) of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the Record Stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 120th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
     (4) Such Record Stockholder’s notice shall set forth:
     (a) if such notice pertains to the nomination of directors, as to each person whom the Record Stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the

4


 

election of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected;
     (b) as to any business that the Record Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such Record Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and
     (c) as to (1) the Record Stockholder giving the notice and (2) the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “party”):
     (i) the name and address of each such party as they appear on the Corporation’s books;
     (ii) (A) the class, series, and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially and of record by each such party, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by each such party, and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which either party has a right to vote, directly or indirectly, any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any short interest in any security of the Corporation held by each such party (for purposes of this subsection 10.1(4), a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially directly or indirectly by each such party that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which either party is a general partner, or directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that each such party is directly or indirectly entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of each such party’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information set forth in this paragraph shall be supplemented by such stockholder or such beneficial owner, as the case may be, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date);
     (iii) any other information relating to each such party that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; and

5


 

     (iv) a statement whether or not each such party will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation reasonably believed by such Record Stockholder or beneficial holder, as the case may be, to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such Record Stockholder (such statement, a “Solicitation Statement”).
     (5) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the third paragraph of this subsection 10.1 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 130 days prior to the Anniversary, a Record Stockholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
     (6) A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at an annual meeting unless (i) the person is nominated by a Record Stockholder in accordance with subsection 10.1(2)(c) or (ii) the person is nominated by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection 10.1. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defectively proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.
     (7) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
     (8) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this subsection 10.1. Nothing in this subsection 10.1 shall be deemed to affect any rights or relieve any requirements of stockholders with respect to inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
     10.2 Special Meetings.
     (1) Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of

6


 

the Board or by the Board of Directors or by a Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
     (2) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. The notice of such special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (b) by any Record Stockholder at the time of giving of notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures applicable to nominations at annual meetings set forth in subsection 10.1 of this Article II. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders only if the Record Stockholder’s notice required by the third paragraph of subsection 10.1 of this Article II shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

     (a) 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

13


 

or an officer of the Corporation or 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”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving 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 such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), 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; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 16 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.
     (b) The right to indemnification conferred in paragraph (a) of this Section 16 shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding 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 paragraph (b) or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 16 shall be contract rights and such rights 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.
     (c) If a claim under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 16 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 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 20 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 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 the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law; and in any suit brought 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

14


 

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 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, and in any suit brought 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 is not entitled to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 16 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
     (d) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 16 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
     (e) 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.
     (f) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 16 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

      Section 7. Examination of Books by Stockholders. The Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws with power for the purpose shall, subject to the laws of the State of Delaware, have power to determine, from time to time, whether and to what extent and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any book or document of the Corporation, except as conferred by the laws of the State of Delaware, unless and until authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws with power for the purpose or of the stockholders of the Corporation.

If the date appointed for the payment of any dividend shall in any year fall on a legal holiday then the dividend payable on such date shall be payable on the next succeeding business day. The Board of Directors in its discretion may from time to time set aside from such surplus or net profits such sum or sums as it, in its absolute discretion, may think proper as a working capital or as a reserve fund to meet contingencies, or for the purpose of maintaining or increasing the property or business of the Corporation, or for any other purpose it may think conducive to the best interests of the Corporation.

ARTICLE I.
Offices.
           Section 1. Registered Office. The registered office of United Parcel Service, Inc. (hereinafter called the Corporation), in the State of Delaware, shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, or at such other location within the State of Delaware as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Corporation’s registered agent in Delaware shall be Corporation Service Company, subject to change by the Board of Directors which may by resolution appoint, or change, the Corporation’s registered agent in Delaware in the manner and to the extent permitted by Delaware law.
           Section 2. Other Offices. The Corporation may also have an office or offices at such other place or places either within or outside the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation requires.
ARTICLE II.
Meetings of Stockholders.
           Section 1. Meetings of Stockholders for Election of Directors. All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors of the Corporation shall be held at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
           Section 2. Other Meetings of Stockholders. All other meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such date, time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or any Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
           Section 3. Special Meetings. Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock, a special meeting of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise proscribed by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Directors or by a Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so. The Board of Directors may postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting.
           Section 4. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required by law, notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a written or printed notice thereof to him or her personally, or by mailing at least ten days before the day on which such meeting is to be held, postage prepaid, to his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Every such notice shall state the time and place of the meeting but need not state the purposes thereof except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. A written waiver of any notice, signed by

1


 

a stockholder, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice except when the person attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Notice of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders shall not be required to be given, except where expressly required by law.
           Section 5. List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the Secretary or other officer who shall have charge of the stock ledger either directly or through a Transfer Agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to prepare and make, at least ten days before every election, complete lists of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. For said ten days such lists shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting in the manner provided by law, and 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 may be present. The original or a duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine such lists or the books of the Corporation or to vote in person or by proxy at such election.
           Section 6. Quorum. At each meeting of the stockholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitling the holders thereof to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except where otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation; provided that, in no event shall a quorum consist of less than such number of votes as may be required under the General Corporation Law of Delaware. In the absence of a quorum, any officer entitled to preside or act as Chairman at such meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, until stockholders holding the requisite amount of voting power shall be present or represented. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. The absence from any meeting of the number required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws for action upon any given matter shall not prevent action at such meetings upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the number of stockholders required in respect of such other matter or matters shall be present.
           Section 7. Organization. The Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman, or in the absence of both, the President, shall call meetings of the stockholders to order and shall act as Chairman thereof. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman and President, the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the votes present at the meeting may elect any person present in person to act as Chairman of the meeting. The Secretary, or, in his or her absence, an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary at all meetings of the stockholders. In the absence from any such meeting of the Secretary and the assistant secretary or secretaries, the Chairman may appoint any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.

           Section 8. Business and Order of Business. At each meeting of the stockholders such business may be transacted as may properly be brought before such meeting, whether or not such business is stated in the notice of such meeting or in a waiver of notice thereof except as otherwise expressly required in the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or by law. The order of business at all meetings of the stockholders shall be determined by the Chairman.
           Section 9.Voting.
      9.1 Generally .
     Each stockholder of the Corporation shall, except as otherwise required by law, at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to such number of votes, in person or by proxy, for each share of the capital stock of the Corporation registered in his or her name on the books of the Corporation, as provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Persons holding in a fiduciary capacity shares having voting rights shall be entitled to vote the shares so held, and persons whose shares of stock having voting rights are pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless the pledgor shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon and so notified the Corporation in writing, in which case only the pledgee, or his or her proxy, may represent said shares and vote thereon. Any vote on shares may be given by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by his or her proxy appointed by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law, subscribed by such stockholder or by his or her attorney thereunto authorized, and delivered to the secretary of the meeting; provided, however, that no proxy shall be voted on after three years from its date unless said proxy provides for a longer period. At every meeting of stockholders duly called and held at which a quorum is present (i) in all matters other than the election of directors, a majority of the votes that could be cast at the meeting upon a given question and (ii) in the case of the election of directors, a plurality of the votes that could be cast at the meeting upon the election, by the holders who are present in person or by proxy, shall be necessary, in addition to any vote or other action that may be expressly required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to decide the question or election. Except as otherwise provided by statute, and unless demanded by a stockholder present in person or by proxy at any meeting, and entitled to vote thereat, the vote on any question need not be by ballot.
      9.2 Voting in Director Elections.
      At every meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, duly called and held at which a quorum is present, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast; provided, that if as of a date that is five business days in advance of the date the Corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. For purposes of this Section 9.2 of Article II, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes ‘for’ a director nominee must exceed the number of votes ‘against’ that director nominee. If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote ‘against’ a director nominee.

3


 

      9.3 Voting on Other Matters.
      All matters other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless otherwise provided by the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed or unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws.
           Section 10. Notice of Stockholder Business and Nominations.
          10.1 Annual Meeting.
     (1) An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.
     (2) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be transacted by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (a) pursuant to the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) by any stockholder of record of the Corporation (the “Record Stockholder”) at the time of the giving of the notice required in the following paragraph, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this subsection 10.1. For the avoidance of doubt, clause (c) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations and propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) before an annual meeting of stockholders.
     (3) For nominations or business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a Record Stockholder pursuant to clause (c) of the foregoing paragraph, (a) the Record Stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (b) any such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under Delaware law, and (c) the Record Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement required by these Bylaws. To be timely, a Record Stockholder’s notice shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary (the “Anniversary”) of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the Record Stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the

4


 

120th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
     (4) Such Record Stockholder’s notice shall set forth:
     (a) if such notice pertains to the nomination of directors, as to each person whom the Record Stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director all information relating to such person as would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of such nominees as directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and such person’s written consent to serve as a director if elected;
     (b) as to any business that the Record Stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of such business, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such Record Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and
     (c) as to (1) the Record Stockholder giving the notice and (2) the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (each, a “party”):
     (i) the name and address of each such party as they appear on the Corporation’s books;
     (ii) (A) the class, series, and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned, directly or indirectly, beneficially and of record by each such party, (B) any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative Instrument”) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by each such party, and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which either party has a right to vote, directly or indirectly, any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) any short interest in any security of the Corporation held by each such party (for purposes of this subsection 10.1(4), a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or

5


 

otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security), (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially directly or indirectly by each such party that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which either party is a general partner, or directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that each such party is directly or indirectly entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of each such party’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information set forth in this paragraph shall be supplemented by such stockholder or such beneficial owner, as the case may be, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date);
     (iii) any other information relating to each such party that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; and
     (iv) a statement whether or not each such party will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, at least the percentage of voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation reasonably believed by such Record Stockholder or beneficial holder, as the case may be, to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such Record Stockholder (such statement, a “Solicitation Statement”).
     (5) Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of the third paragraph of this subsection 10.1 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 130 days prior to the Anniversary, a Record Stockholder’s notice required by this Bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new

6


 

positions created by such increase, if it shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
     (6) A person shall not be eligible for election or re-election as a director at an annual meeting unless (i) the person is nominated by a Record Stockholder in accordance with subsection 10.1(2)(c) or (ii) the person is nominated by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. Only such business shall be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection 10.1. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and the duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defectively proposed business or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.
     (7) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
     (8) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this subsection 10.1. Nothing in this subsection 10.1 shall be deemed to affect any rights or relieve any requirements of stockholders with respect to inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
          10.2 Special Meetings.
     (1) Subject to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Directors or by a Committee constituted pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws that has been given the power to do so.
     (2) Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors. The notice of such special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or

7


 

(b) by any Record Stockholder at the time of giving of notice provided for in this paragraph, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures applicable to nominations at annual meetings set forth in subsection 10.1 of this Article II. Nominations by stockholders of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at such a special meeting of stockholders only if the Record Stockholder’s notice required by the third paragraph of subsection 10.1 of this Article II shall be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. A person shall not be eligible for election or reelection as a director at a special meeting unless the person is nominated (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by a Record Stockholder in accordance with the notice procedures set forth in subsection 10.1 of Article II.
     (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.2, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this subsection 10.2. Nothing in this subsection 10.2 shall be deemed to affect any rights or relieve any requirements of stockholders with respect to inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
          10.3 Share Ownership Requirement for Stockholder Business and Nominations. Notwithstanding the forgoing subsections, except in cases in which Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act applies, no proposal for action on any stockholder business, or nomination of any person for election to the Board of Directors may be made by any Record Stockholder who is not also a beneficial owner of at least $1,000 in current value of shares of the Corporation entitled to be voted for the election of Directors.

           Section 16. Indemnification
     (a) 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 an officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another

14


 

corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving 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 such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), 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; provided, however, that, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section 16 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.
     (b) The right to indemnification conferred in paragraph (a) of this Section 16 shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding 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 paragraph (b) or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 16 shall be contract rights and such rights 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.
     (c) If a claim under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 16 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 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 20 days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in

15


 

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 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 the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law; and in any suit brought 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 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, and in any suit brought 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 is not entitled to such advancement of expenses, under this Section 16 or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
     (d) The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 16 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
     (e) 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.
     (f) The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 16 with respect to the

16


 

indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

  (6)   Each record holder of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock may convert any or all of those shares into an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that: (i) no share of Class A-1 Common Stock may be converted into a share of Class B Common Stock before 180 days after the Public Offering Date; (ii) no share of Class A-2 Common Stock may be converted into a share of Class B Common Stock before 360 days after the Public Offering Date; and (iii) no share of Class A-3 Common Stock may be converted into a share of Class B Common Stock

A record holder of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock may effect a voluntary conversion of any or all of those shares in accordance with this paragraph (c)(6) by surrendering the certificates for the number of shares to be converted, accompanied by any required tax transfer stamps and by a written notice by the record holder to the Corporation stating that such record holder desires to convert such shares into the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock and requesting that the Corporation issue such shares of Class B Common Stock to persons named therein, setting forth the number of shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued to each such person and the denominations in which the certificates therefor are to be issued. To the extent permitted by law, such a voluntary conversion shall be deemed to have been effected at the close of business on the date of surrender.

  (7)   Shares of Class A-1 Common Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 180 days after the Public Offering Date.

Shares of Class A-3 Common Stock may not be transferred to anyone other than a permitted transferee prior to 540 days after the Public Offering Date. For purposes of this paragraph (c)(7), the terms “transferred” and “permitted transferee” have the meanings set forth in paragraph (c)(16). Except as provided in this paragraph (c)(7), any purported transfer of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock prior to the applicable date referred to in this paragraph (c)(7) shall be void. Shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock may be transferred to a permitted transferee prior to the applicable date referred to in this paragraph (c)(7), and such permitted transferee will take such shares subject to the provisions of this paragraph (c)(7).
 
  (8)   Each share of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Class B Common Stock upon the transfer of that share if (i) the transfer is permitted by paragraph (c)(7) of this Article Fourth and (ii) after the transfer, the share is not owned by a permitted transferee. For purposes of this paragraph (c)(8), the terms “transferred” and “permitted transferee” have the meanings set forth in paragraph (c)(16).
 
  (9)   Shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation, and a new certificate therefor issued, upon presentation at the office of the Secretary of the Corporation (or at such additional place or places as may from time to time be designated by the Secretary of the Corporation) of the certificate for the shares, in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all requisite stock transfer tax

      stamps, only if the certificate when so presented is accompanied by an affidavit from the record holder stating that the certificate is being presented to effect a transfer of the shares to a permitted transferee. The affidavit of a record holder furnished pursuant to this paragraph (c)(9) shall be verified as of a date not earlier than five days prior to the date of delivery of the affidavit, and, where the record holder is a corporation or partnership, shall be verified by an officer of the corporation or by a general partner of the partnership, as the case may be.
 
  (10)   Any person (other than a permitted transferee) who takes shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock in a transfer that complies with the provisions of this paragraph (c) may treat the endorsement on the certificate representing such shares, or the instrument of transfer accompanying such shares, as authorizing such person on behalf of the transferor to convert the shares in the manner provided in paragraph (c)(6) for the purpose of registering the transfer to such person of the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon conversion, and to give on behalf of the transferor the written notice of conversion above required, and may convert such shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock accordingly.
 
  (11)   Every certificate for shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock shall bear a legend on its face reading as follows:
 
      “The shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate may not be transferred (which term includes, without limitation, buying a put option, selling a call option or entering into any other hedging or insurance transaction relating to the shares) to any person in connection with a transfer that does not meet the qualifications set forth in paragraphs (c)(7) and (c)(8) of Article Fourth of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of this Corporation, and no person who receives the shares represented by this certificate in connection with a transfer that does not meet the qualifications prescribed by paragraphs (c)(7) and (c)(8) of Article Fourth is entitled to own or to be registered as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate, but the record holder of this certificate may at any time (except as provided in paragraph (c)(6) of Article Fourth) convert the shares of Common Stock represented by this certificate into the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock for purposes of effecting the sale or other disposition of the shares of Class B Common Stock to any person. Each holder of this certificate, by accepting the certificate, accepts and agrees to all of the foregoing.”
 
  (12)   Upon any conversion of shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock into shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (c)(6), any dividend, for which the record date or payment date is subsequent to the conversion, that has been declared on

6


 

      the shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock so converted shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable, with respect to the shares of Class B Common Stock into or for which the shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock are so converted, and any such dividend that is declared on the shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock payable in shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable, in shares of Class B Common Stock.
 
  (13)   Any shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock that have been converted into shares of Class B Common Stock will be retired with no further action by the Corporation, and will resume the status of authorized and unissued Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock or Class A-3 Common Stock, respectively.
 
  (14)   The Corporation at all times shall reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Class B Common Stock, at least the number of shares of Class B Common Stock that would become issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Class A-1 Common Stock, Class A-2 Common Stock and Class A-3 Common Stock then outstanding.
 
  (15)   In connection with any transfer or conversion of any shares of any class of Common Stock pursuant to or as permitted by the provisions of this paragraph (c), or in connection with the making of any determination referred to in this paragraph (c), neither the Corporation nor any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation shall be liable in any manner for any action taken or omitted in good faith.

      ELEVENTH : (a) So long as any person (as defined in this Article Eleventh) is the beneficial owner (as defined in this Article Eleventh) of more than 25% of the voting power, determined without giving effect to the provisions of this Article Eleventh, of the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), the record holders of such shares so beneficially owned by such person (hereinafter a “Substantial Stockholder”) shall have limited voting rights on any matter requiring their vote or consent as set forth in this Article Eleventh; provided, however , that the voting restrictions of this Article Eleventh shall not apply to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, any person holding Voting Stock for or

10


 

pursuant to the terms of such plan or to any person who is a fiduciary, participant, beneficiary or alternate payee under the terms of such plan, and such plan or person shall not be deemed to be a Substantial Stockholder as defined herein with respect to such shares held pursuant to such plan. With respect to each vote in excess of 25% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock which such record holders would be entitled to cast without giving effect to this Article Eleventh, the record holders in the aggregate shall be entitled to cast only 1/100 of a vote and the aggregate voting power of such record holders, so limited, for all shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by the Substantial Stockholder shall be allocated proportionately among such record holders. For each such record holder, this allocation shall be accomplished by multiplying the aggregate voting power, as so limited, of the outstanding shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by the Substantial Stockholder by a fraction whose numerator is the number of votes represented by the shares of Voting Stock owned of record by such record holder (and which are beneficially owned by the Substantial Stockholder) and whose denominator is the total number of votes represented by the shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by the Substantial Stockholder, in each case before giving effect to the limitation on voting power provided by this Article Eleventh. A person who is a record holder of shares of Voting Stock that are beneficially owned simultaneously by more than one person shall have, with respect to such shares, the right to cast the least number of votes that such person would be entitled to cast under this Article Eleventh by virtue of such shares being so beneficially owned by any of such persons.
     (b) The Board of Directors shall have the power to construe and apply the provisions of this Article Eleventh and to make all determinations necessary or desirable to implement such provisions, including but not limited to matters with respect to (i) the number of shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by any person, (ii) whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate of another, (iii) whether a person has an agreement, arrangement or understanding with another as to the matters referred to in the definition of beneficial ownership, (iv) the application of any other definition or operative provision of this Article Eleventh to the given facts or (v) any other matter relating to the applicability or effect of this Article Eleventh.
     (c) The Board of Directors shall have the right to demand that any person who after reasonable inquiry is believed to be a Substantial Stockholder supply the Corporation with complete information as to (i) the record holder(s) of all shares beneficially owned by such person who is so believed to be a Substantial Stockholder, (ii) the number of, and class or series of, shares beneficially owned by such person who is so believed to be a Substantial Stockholder and held of record by each record holder and the number(s) of the stock certificate(s) evidencing such shares and (iii) any other factual matter relating to the applicability or effect of this Article Eleventh, as may reasonably be requested of such person. Such person shall furnish such information within ten days after the receipt of such demand. If the Board of Directors reasonably believes the shares of Voting Stock held of record by any person or represented by a proxy holder are beneficially owned by a Substantial Stockholder, it may demand that the record holder of such shares, or the proxy holder thereof, provide to the Corporation a list of (i) names and addresses of the beneficial owners of all shares of Voting Stock held by such record holder or represented by such proxy holder; (ii) the number of, and class or series of, shares of Voting Stock held by such record holder or represented by such proxy holder on behalf of each beneficial owner and (iii) any other factual matter relating to the applicability or effect of this

11


 

Article Eleventh. Such record holder or proxy holder shall furnish such information within ten days (or such longer period as is required by law or regulation) after the receipt of such demand; provided, however, that any such request shall be made in accordance with the requirements of applicable law and regulation. If as of the date of any stockholder vote or consent, a demand made pursuant to this paragraph has not been timely responded to, the Corporation, to the extent permitted by law, shall treat such votes as are reasonably believed by the Board of Directors to have been cast with respect to the shares of Voting Stock beneficially owned by a Substantial Stockholder as subject to the limitation provided by this Article Eleventh.
     (d) Except as otherwise provided by law or expressly provided in this paragraph (d), the presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitling the holders thereof to cast a majority of the votes (after giving effect, if applicable, to the provisions of this Article Eleventh) entitled to be cast by the holders of shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, and every reference in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to a majority or other proportion of capital stock (or the holders thereof) for the purposes of determining any quorum requirement or any requirement for stockholder consent or approval shall be deemed to refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes (or the holders thereof) then entitled to be cast in respect of such capital stock.
     (e) Any construction, application or determination made by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Article Eleventh in good faith and on the basis of such information and assistance as was then reasonably available for such purpose shall be conclusive and binding upon the Corporation and its stockholders including any Substantial Stockholder.
     (f) Nothing contained in this Article Eleventh shall be construed to relieve any Substantial Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.
     (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any affirmative vote of the holders of any particular class or series of the capital stock required by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any resolution of the Board of Directors referred to in Article Fifth, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the Voting Stock (after giving effect to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Article Eleventh), voting together as a single class, shall be required to alter, amend or repeal this Article Eleventh.
     (h) In the event any provision (or portion thereof) of this Article Eleventh shall be found to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions (or portions thereof) of this Article Eleventh shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or otherwise rendered inapplicable, it being the intent of this Corporation and its stockholders that each such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of this Article Eleventh remain, to the fullest extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all stockholders, including any Substantial Stockholder, notwithstanding any such finding.
