	Intevac California Common Stock

	of Intevac California Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto shall, by
	virtue of the Merger and without any action by the Constituent Corporations, the holder of such

	the holder of such shares or any other person, be canceled and returned to the status of
	authorized but unissued shares.
	          d)
	Exchange of Certificates
	.
	               i) After the Effective Time of the Merger, each holder of an outstanding certificate
	representing shares of Intevac California Common Stock may, at such stockholders option, surrender
	the same for cancellation to Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as exchange agent (the Exchange
	Agent), and each such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate or
	certificates representing the number of shares of the Surviving Corporations Common Stock into
	which the surrendered shares were converted as herein provided.
	               ii) Until so surrendered, each outstanding certificate theretofore representing shares of
	Intevac California Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole
	shares of the Surviving Corporations Common Stock into which such shares of Intevac California
	Common Stock were converted in the Merger. The registered owner on the books and records of the
	Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent of any such outstanding certificate shall, until such
	certificate shall have been surrendered for transfer or conversion or otherwise accounted for to

	other rights with respect to and to receive dividends and other distributions upon the shares of
	Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation represented by such outstanding certificate as provided
	above.

	the certificates of Intevac California so converted and given in exchange therefor, unless
	otherwise determined by the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation in compliance with
	applicable laws.
	               iv) If any certificate for shares of the Surviving Corporations Common Stock is to be issued
	in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered,
	it shall be a condition of issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered shall be properly
	endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer, that such transfer otherwise be proper and that
	the person requesting such transfer pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes payable
	by reason of the issuance of such new certificate in a name other than that of the registered
	holder of the certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation
	that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

	have given timely notice thereof in writing to the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a
	stockholders notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices
	of the corporation not less than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days before the one year
	anniversary of the date on which the corporation first mailed its proxy statement to stockholders
	in connection with the previous years annual meeting of stockholders;
	provided
	,
	however
	, that in
	the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting
	has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the prior years meeting, notice by
	the stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later
	of one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in advance of such annual meeting and ten (10) calendar
	days following the date on which public announcement of the date of the meeting is first made. A
	stockholders notice to the secretary shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to
	bring before the annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought
	before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b)
	the name and address, as they appear on the corporations books, of the stockholder proposing such
	business, (c) the class and number of shares of the corporation that are beneficially owned by the
	stockholder, (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business, and (e) any other
	information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the
	Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
	1934 Act
	), in the stockholders capacity as a
	proponent to a stockholder proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to include information
	with respect to a stockholder proposal in the proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders
	meeting, stockholders must provide notice as required by the regulations promulgated under the 1934
	Act. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at
	any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (i). The
	chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting
	that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of
	this paragraph (i), and, if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the
	meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
	          (ii) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
	paragraph (ii) shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to
	the Board of the corporation may be made at a meeting of stockholders by or at the direction of the
	Board or by any stockholder of the corporation entitled to vote in the election of directors at the
	meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this paragraph (ii). Such nominations,
	other than those made by or at the direction of the Board, shall be made pursuant to timely notice
	in writing to the secretary of the corporation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (i)
	of this Section 2.4. Such stockholders notice shall set forth (a) as to each person, if any, whom
	the stockholder proposes to
	2
 
	 
	nominate for election or re-election as a director: (A) the name, age, business address and
	residence address of such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (C)
	the class and number of shares of the corporation that are beneficially owned by such person, (D) a
	description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any
	other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nominations are to be
	made by the stockholder, and (E) any other information relating to such person that is required to
	be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for elections of directors, or is otherwise required, in
	each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the 1934 Act (including without limitation such persons
	written consent to being named in the proxy statement, if any, as a nominee and to serving as a
	director if elected); and (b) as to such stockholder giving notice, the information required to be
	provided pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 2.4. At the request of the Board, any person
	nominated by a stockholder for election as a director shall furnish to the secretary of the
	corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholders notice of nomination
	which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the
	corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (ii).
	The chairperson of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting
	that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws, and if
	the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the meeting, and the defective
	nomination shall be disregarded.
	     These provisions shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at an annual
	meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees of the Board, but in connection therewith
	no new business shall be acted upon at any such meeting unless stated, filed and received as herein
	provided. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business brought before a
	meeting by a stockholder shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with
	procedures set forth in this Section 2.4.
	     Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written
	notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the
	meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be
	deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the
	purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the
	certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders
	shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each
	stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.
	     2.5 MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE
	     Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given:
	     (i) if mailed, when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the
	stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the corporations records; or
	     (ii) if electronically transmitted as provided in Section 8.1 of these bylaws.
	3
 
	 
	     An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer
	agent or any other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by mail or by a form of
	electronic transmission, as applicable, shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of
	the facts stated therein.
	     2.6 QUORUM
	     The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in
	person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all
	meetings of the stockholders. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting
	of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders
	entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to
	adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until
	a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or
	represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as
	originally noticed.
	     2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE
	     When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require,
	notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place if any thereof, and 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 adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment
	is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been
	transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the
	adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting
	shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
	     2.8 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS
	     The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the
	procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of
	business.
	     2.9 VOTING
	     The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in
	accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to
	voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to
	voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.
	     Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, each
	stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.
	4
 
	 
	     2.10 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
	     Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation must be
	effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and may not
	be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
	     2.11 RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER NOTICE; VOTING; GIVING CONSENTS
	     In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote
	at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of 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 may fix, in advance, a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
	on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and which shall not be more than 60 nor
	less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other such
	action.
	     If the Board does not so fix a record date:
	          (i) 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 next preceding the day on which notice
	is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on
	which the meeting is held.
	          (ii) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close
	of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
	     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 may
	fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
	     2.12 PROXIES
	     Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or
	persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a
	transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting,
	but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy
	provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is
	irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.
	     2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE
	     The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at
	least 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
	5
 
	 
	shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to
	include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list
	shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a
	period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network,
	provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of
	the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the corporations principal executive
	office. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic
	network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available
	only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list
	shall 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. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of
	remote communication, then 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. Such list shall
	presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the
	number of shares held by each of them.
	     2.14 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION
	     A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic
	transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that
	the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person.
	     Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of
	election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1)
	or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then
	the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholders
	proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.
	     Such inspectors shall:
	          (i) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of
	shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and
	effect of proxies;
	          (ii) receive votes, ballots or consents;
	          (iii) hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with
	the right to vote;
	          (iv) count and tabulate all votes or consents;
	          (v) determine when the polls shall close;
	          (vi) determine the result; and
	6
 
	 
	          (vii) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to
	all stockholders.
	     The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best
	of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. If there are three (3) inspectors of
	election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the
	decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election
	is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
	ARTICLE III  DIRECTORS
	     3.1 POWERS
	     Subject to the provisions of the DGCL and any limitation in the certificate of incorporation
	and these bylaws relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the
	outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate
	powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board.
	     Without prejudice to these general powers, and subject to the same limitations, the Board
	shall have the power to:
	          (i) Select and remove all officers, agents, and employees of the corporation; prescribe any
	powers and duties for them that are consistent with law, with the certificate of incorporation, and
	with these bylaws; fix their compensation; and require from them security for faithful service.
	          (ii) Change the principal executive office or the principal business office of the corporation
	from one location to another; cause the corporation to be qualified to do business in any state,
	territory, dependency, or country and conduct business within any such state, territory,
	dependency, or country; and designate any place within or outside the State of Delaware for the
	holding of any stockholders meeting, or meetings, including annual meetings.
	          (iii) Adopt, make, and use a corporate seal; prescribe the forms of certificates of stock; and
	alter the form of the seal and certificates.

	7
 
	 
	     3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS
	     The Board shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. The
	number of directors shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board, within the
	range set forth in the certificate of incorporation. No reduction of the authorized number of
	directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that directors term of office
	expires.
	     3.3 ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS
	     Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders to hold office until the
	next annual meeting. Each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold
	office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until a successor has been qualified
	and elected or until such directors earlier death, resignation or removal.
	     3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES
	     Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission
	to the corporation. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered, unless the
	resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of
	an event or events. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws,
	when one or more directors resign from the Board effective at a future date, a majority of the
	directors then in office, including those who are resigning, shall have power to fill such vacancy
	or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become
	effective.
	     Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and
	newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors
	elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class may be filled by a
	majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
	director, except that a vacancy created by the removal of a director by the vote of the
	stockholders or by court order may be filled only by the vote of a majority of the shares entitled
	to vote represented at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present.
	     If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have
	no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee
	or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person
	or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the
	provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or may apply to the Court of
	Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the DGCL.
	     If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then
	in office constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted immediately prior to
	any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders
	holding at least 10% of the voting stock at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such
	directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created
	directorships, or to
	8
 
	 
	replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election
	shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.
	     3.5 PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE
	     The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of
	Delaware.
	     Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of
	the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the Board, or
	any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which
	all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting
	shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.
	     3.6 REGULAR MEETINGS
	     Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such time and at such place as
	shall from time to time be determined by the Board.
	     3.7 SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE
	     Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the
	chairperson of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president, the secretary or a majority
	of the authorized number of directors.
	     Notice of the time and place of special meetings shall be:
|  | (i) |  | delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone; | 
|  | 
|  | (ii) |  | sent by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid; | 
|  | 
|  | (iii) |  | sent by facsimile; or | 
|  | 
|  | (iv) |  | sent by electronic mail, | 
 
	directed to each director at that directors address, telephone number, facsimile number or
	electronic mail address, as the case may be, as shown on the corporations records.
	     If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by
	facsimile or (iii) sent by electronic mail, it shall be delivered or sent at least 24 hours before
	the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be
	deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the
	meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the director. The notice need not specify the place
	of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the corporations principal executive office) nor
	the purpose of the meeting.
	9
 
	 
	     3.8 QUORUM; VOTING
	     At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the authorized number of directors shall
	constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of
	the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without
	notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a
	quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of
	directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that
	meeting.
	     The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present
	shall be the act of the Board, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the
	certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
	     3.9 WAIVER OF NOTICE
	     Whenever notice is required to be given to a director under any provision of the DGCL or of
	the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the director,
	whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance
	of a director at a meeting of the Board shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except
	when the director attends such meeting for the express purpose of 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 regular or special
	meeting of the Board, or of a committee of Board, need be specified in any written waiver of
	notice, unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
	     3.10 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING
	     Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action
	required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may be
	taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent
	thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic
	transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.
	Such filing 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.
	     3.11 FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
	     Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the Board
	shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors.
	     3.12 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS
	     Any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the corporation.
	10
 
	 
	     No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any
	director prior to the expiration of such directors term of office.
	     3.13 APPROVAL OF LOANS
	     Subject to compliance with applicable law, the corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any
	obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its
	subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its
	subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the Board, such loan, guaranty or assistance may
	reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be
	with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board shall
	approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing
	contained in this section shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or
	warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.
	ARTICLE IV  COMMITTEES
	     4.1 COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS
	     The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the authorized number of directors,
	designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the
	corporation. The Board 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. In the absence
	or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any
	meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a
	quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of
	any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the
	resolution of the Board or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and
	authority of the Board 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 that may require it; but no such
	committee shall have the power or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the
	stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders

	the Board or on any committee, (iv) fix the compensation of the directors for serving on the Board

	Board or by resolution of the committee;

	          (iii) notice of special meetings of committees shall also be given to all alternate members,

	government of any committee not inconsistent with the provisions of these bylaws.

	shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or
	other agent so to 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 executive office.

	15
 
	 
	ARTICLE VII  GENERAL MATTERS
	     7.1 CHECKS, DRAFTS, EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS
	     From time to time, the Board 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.
	     7.2 EXECUTION OF CORPORATE CONTRACTS AND INSTRUMENTS
	     The Board, except as otherwise provided in these bylaws, 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 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.
	     7.3 STOCK CERTIFICATES; PARTLY PAID SHARES
	     The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board
	may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its
	stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by
	a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the
	adoption of such a resolution by the Board, every holder of stock represented by certificates, and
	upon request every holder of uncertificated shares, shall be entitled to have a certificate signed
	by, or in the name of the corporation by the chairperson or vice-chairperson of the Board, or the
	president or vice-president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an
	assistant secretary of the corporation representing the number of shares registered in certificate
	form. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer,
	transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
	certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is
	issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer,
	transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
	     The corporation may issue the whole or any part of its shares as partly paid and subject to
	call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of each
	stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of
	the corporation in the case of uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the
	consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated. Upon the declaration
	of any dividend on fully paid shares, the corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid
	shares of the same class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually
	paid thereon.
	16
 
	 
	     7.4 SPECIAL DESIGNATION ON CERTIFICATES
	     If the corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series
	of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating,
	optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications,
	limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or
	summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent
	such class or series of stock;
	provided, however
	, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202
	of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of
	the certificate that the corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a
	statement that the corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the
	powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other
	special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or
	restrictions of such preferences and/or rights.
	     7.5 LOST CERTIFICATES
	     Except as provided in this Section 7.5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to
	replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the corporation and
	cancelled at the same time. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated
	shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen
	or destroyed, and the corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed
	certificate, or such owners legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to
	indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or
	destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated
	shares.
	     7.6 CONSTRUCTION; DEFINITIONS
	     Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and
	definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the
	generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes
	the singular, and the term 
	person
	 includes both a corporation and a natural person.
	     7.7 DIVIDENDS
	     The Board, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL, or (ii) the
	certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock.
	Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporations capital stock.
	     The Board may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a
	reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall
	include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the
	corporation, and meeting contingencies.
	17
 
	 
	     7.8 FISCAL YEAR
	     The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board and may be
	changed by the Board.
	     7.9 SEAL
	     The corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by
	the Board. The corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be
	impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.
	     7.10 TRANSFER OF STOCK
	     Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate
	for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority
	to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person
	entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate, and record the transaction in its books.
	     7.11 STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
	     The corporation shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of
	stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the corporation to restrict the transfer of
	shares of stock of the corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any
	manner not prohibited by the DGCL.
	     7.12 REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS
	     The corporation:
	          (i) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as
	the owner of shares to receive dividends and to vote as such owner;
	          (ii) shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its
	books as the owner of shares; and
	          (iii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such
	share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
	thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.
	     7.13 WAIVER OF NOTICE
	     Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of
	incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a
	waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the
	time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance
	of a person at a meeting
	18
 
	 
	shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends such
	meeting for the express purpose of 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 regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be
	specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission, unless so
	required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
	ARTICLE VIII  NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
	     8.1 NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
	     Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders
	pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders
	given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these
	bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the
	stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by
	written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:
	          (i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices
	given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and
	          (ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the
	corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.
	However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any
	meeting or other action.
	     Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:
|  | (i) |  | if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at
	which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; | 
|  | 
|  | (ii) |  | if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail
	address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; | 
|  | 
|  | (iii) |  | if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate
	notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such
	posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and | 
|  | 
|  | (iv) |  | if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to
	the stockholder. | 
 
	     An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other
	agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall,
	in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
	19
 
	 
	     8.2 DEFINITION OF ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
	     An 
	electronic transmission
	 means any form of communication, not directly involving the
	physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed
	by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient
	through an automated process.
	     8.3 INAPPLICABILITY
	     Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or
	324 of the DGCL.
	ARTICLE IX  INDEMNIFICATION
	     9.1 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
	     The corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the DGCL as the
	same now exists or may hereafter be amended, indemnify any person against expenses (including
	attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
	in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding in which such
	person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person
	is or was a director or officer of the corporation; provided, however, that the corporation may
	modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with its directors and officers
	and, provided further, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify any director or
	officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless (i)
	such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (ii) the proceeding was authorized in
	advance by the Board, (iii) such indemnification is provided by the corporation, in its sole
	discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the corporation under the DGCL or (iv) such
	indemnification is required to be made pursuant to an individual contract. For purposes of this
	Section 9.1, a director or officer of the corporation shall mean any person (a) who is or was a
	director or officer of the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation
	as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
	enterprise, or (c) who was a director or officer of a corporation which was a predecessor
	corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor
	corporation.
	     The corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred by a director or
	officer of the corporation entitled to indemnification hereunder in defending any action, suit or
	proceeding referred to in this Section 9.1 in advance of its final disposition; provided, however,
	that payment of expenses incurred by a director or officer of the corporation in advance of the
	final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an
	undertaking by the director or officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be
	determined that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 9.1 or
	otherwise.
	     The rights conferred on any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other rights
	which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the corporations
	20
 
	 
	certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or
	disinterested directors or otherwise.
	     Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article shall not adversely
	affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
	prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
	     9.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHERS
	     The corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the
	DGCL as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, to indemnify any person other than a
	director or officer (as such terms are defined in Section 9.1 above) against expenses (including
	attorneys fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
	in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, in which such
	person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such person
	is or was an employee or agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 9.2, an employee
	or agent of the corporation (other than a director or officer, as such terms are defined in
	Section 9.1 above) shall mean any person (i) who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation,
	(ii) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another
	corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (iii) who was an employee or
	agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another
	enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.
	     9.3 INSURANCE
	     The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
	director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
	corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
	venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred
	by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
	corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the
	provisions of the DGCL.
	     9.4 EXPENSES
	     The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
	a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
	criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
	director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
	director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
	prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses
	incurred by any such director or officer in
	connection with such proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person
	to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be
	indemnified under this bylaw or otherwise; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be
	required to advance expenses to any such director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or
	part thereof) initiated by such person unless the proceeding was authorized in advance by the
	Board.
	21
 
	 
	     Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 9.5, no advance
	shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact
	that such officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not
	apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
	if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum
	consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not
	obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent
	legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time
	such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith
	or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
	the corporation.
	     9.5 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS
	     The rights conferred on any person by this bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right
	which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of
	incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise,
	both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
	office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or
	all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the
	fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL.
	     9.6 SURVIVAL OF RIGHTS
	     The rights conferred on any person by this bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased
	to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
	executors and administrators of such a person.
	     9.7 AMENDMENTS
	     Any repeal or modification of this bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the
	rights under this bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission
	to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
	ARTICLE X  AMENDMENTS
	     These bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the corporation.
	However, the corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, confer the power to adopt, amend
	or repeal these bylaws upon the directors. The fact that such power has been so conferred upon the
	directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power, to adopt, amend or
	repeal these bylaws as set forth above.
	22
