Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On June 9, 2015, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the "Corporation") amended and restated the Corporation's Bylaws (collectively such changes, the "Bylaw Amendments").

These amendments include, among other things:

1. Clarification of Proper Business at Stockholder Meetings (Section 2.4). The Bylaw Amendments consolidate and clarify provisions addressing the business that may be conducted at annual and special meetings of stockholders, respectively. In particular, for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders, such nomination or proposed business must be specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting given by the Board; otherwise properly brought before the meeting by the Board; or otherwise properly requested to be brought before the meeting by a stockholder, in accordance with the Bylaw provisions governing stockholder nominations and proposals (discussed in more details below). The revisions make clear the procedures pursuant to which nominations and other business may come before any meeting of stockholders and ensure that the advance notice provisions contained in the Bylaws will apply to any business proposed by stockholders, whether in connection with an annual meeting or special meeting.

2. Advance Notice of Stockholder Proposals and Nominations of Directors (Sections 2.5, 2.6). The Bylaw Amendments modernize and enhance the existing Bylaw provisions that require stockholders to provide specified information in order to nominate a candidate for election as a director, or propose other business, at meeting of stockholders. In general, such advance notice provisions serve to (a) inform the Corporation of business to be brought at the stockholder meeting in adequate time in advance of the meeting to allow the Corporation to respond appropriately; (b) provide an opportunity for all stockholders to be fully informed of such matters in an adequate time in advance of the meeting to make an informed decision; and (c) enable the Board to make informed recommendations or present alternatives to stockholders regarding such matters. The Bylaw Amendments with respect to the advance notice provisions are designed to elicit appropriate disclosure in light of the foregoing, and include the following requirements:

Disclosure of Derivative Holdings and other Economic Interests. The proposing stockholder must provide broad disclosure regarding its economic interests in the Corporation (as well as those of any beneficial owners on whose behalf the stockholder is acting, and their respective affiliates and others acting in concert therewith (collectively, "Related Parties")), including derivatives, hedged positions, rights to receive dividends and other economic, contractual and voting interests.

Additional Disclosure Requirements. For proposals of business, a stockholder's notice must describe the business; the reason for conducting the business at the meeting; any material interest of the proposing stockholder (as well as those of any Related Parties) in such business; the text of the proposal or business; and all agreements and relationships of the proposing stockholder and the Related Parties, or any other person, in connections with such proposal.

Requirements for Notices of Proposed Nominees. The notice must include, with respect to each prospective nominee, the information regarding economic interests described above, as well as a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material relationships between such nominee (and any of his or her Related Parties) and any proposing stockholder (and any of its Related Parties).

Questionnaire and Undertaking from Proposed Nominees. In addition, a stockholder's notice must include a completed questionnaire regarding the qualification of any nominee (and any person on whose behalf the nomination is made) as well as a written representation and agreement by the nominee that they are not, and will not become a party to any voting commitment that has not been fully disclosed to the Corporation. The nominee must also represent that he or she will comply with the Corporation's corporate governance,





conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines. (These requirements apply to all directors nominated for election or reelection by the Board.)

The Bylaw Amendments require the information contained in a stockholders notice to be updated as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting. In addition, the proposing stockholder is required to represent that he or she intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the proposal or nomination. The proposing stockholder must also disclose whether he or she intends to solicit proxies with respect to the proposal.

Consistent with the current Bylaws, the Bylaw Amendments provide that, for an annual meeting, a stockholders notice must be given from 90 to 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year's annual meeting. The Bylaw Amendments add exceptions and timing guidelines in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after the prior year's meeting, or the public announcement thereof is less than 100 days prior to the meeting date. Similar timing requirements are specified for delivery of a stockholder's notice for a special meeting.

3. Stockholder Action to Call Special Meetings (Section 2.3). The Corporation's current Bylaws permit the holders of at least 50% of all issued and outstanding shares to call a special meeting. The Bylaw Amendments specify certain procedures and requirements that must be complied with in order for such a special meeting to be called. Similar to the advance notice provisions described above, these procedures and requirements provide certainty around the special meeting process and ensure that the Board and the Corporation's stockholders will be fully informed with respect to the business proposed to be considered at any such special meeting. Such procedures and requirements include the following:

The meeting request must include the information that would be required under the advance notice provisions, described above, with respect to the person(s) calling the special meeting (and their Related Parties) and with respect to the business proposed to be brought before the special meeting.

The stockholders requesting the special meeting must own the required amount of shares on the date on which the special meeting request is delivered and must continue to hold such required amount of shares through the date of the meeting; the special meeting request is deemed to be revoked with respect to any shares disposed of prior to the meeting.

The information contained in the meeting request must be updated as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting.

The meeting request must relate an item of business that is a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law and the Bylaws, and must not be made in a manner that involved a violation of securities laws or other applicable law.

A meeting request will not be valid if it is made during the period starting 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the prior year's annual meeting and ending on the earlier of (a) the date of the next annual meeting and (b) 30 days after such first anniversary.

A meeting request will not be valid if a similar meeting item is included in the Corporation's notice of an annual or special meeting as an item of business to be brought before a stockholder meeting that has been called but has not yet been held, or that is called for a date within 120 days of the meeting request date.

4. Stockholder Action by Written Consent (Section 2.17). The Corporation's current Bylaws permit stockholders to act by written consent in accordance with Delaware law. The Bylaw Amendments add a procedure addressing the setting of a record date for any such action. A stockholder seeking to have the stockholders act by written consent must request that the Board fix a record date. Within ten days after receipt of such request, the Board must fix a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to act by written consent, which date shall not be





more than ten days after the date on which such resolution fixing the record date is adopted. If the Board fails to fix a record date, the record date for action by written consent will be (a) if no prior action by the Board is required by law, the first date on which a signed written consent is delivered to the Corporation in the required manner or (b) if prior action by the Board is required, the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such action. In addition, the Bylaw Amendments clarify other procedural details.

5. Director and Officer Indemnification (Article 8). The Bylaw Amendments update and clarify the provisions relating to the indemnification of directors and officers. Such changes (a) clarify that rights to indemnification are applicable whether or not a person continues to serve in an indemnifiable capacity when indemnification is sought; (b) set forth the process by which a determination as to whether an indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be made (including the requirement that if a "change of control" of the Corporation has occurred within the previous two years, such determination will be made by independent counsel); and (c) enhance the Bylaw provisions providing that the indemnification rights are deemed to be contract rights and that any modification of the relevant Bylaws will not in any way diminish or adversely affect such rights with respect to any fact, occurrence, action or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment.

6. Additional Changes. In addition to the amendments described above, the Bylaw Amendments include certain changes to (a) clarify language; (b) enhance consistency with Delaware law; (c) make various technical corrections and non-substantive changes; (d) clarify and modernize certain corporate proceedings (for example, by permitting notices to be delivered by electronic transmissions and stockholder meetings to be held by means of remote communications, in each case in conformity with applicable Delaware law); and (e) conform more closely to the Corporation's current management structure the definitions of the duties of CEO and President.

The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendments does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Corporation's Amended and Restated Bylaws, and a copy marked to show the Bylaw Amendments, which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

B. If Stockholder’s Notice relates to any business other than a nomination of a Director or Directors that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a Stockholder’s Notice must, in addition to the matters set forth in paragraphs (A)(i) and (A)(ii) above, also set forth as to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (1) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of any Proposing Person in such business, (2) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and (3) an accurate and complete description of all proxies, contracts, agreements, arrangements, relationships or understandings between or among any Proposing Persons, or any Proposing Person and any other person or persons (including their names), in connection with the proposal of such business.

D. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these Bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to Section 2.4 of these Bylaws. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (i) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, if applicable, or (ii) of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Subject to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, if applicable, nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Corporation’s proxy statement any nomination of Director or Directors or any other business proposal.
E. A Stockholder’s Notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the Record Date for notice of the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the Record Date for notice of the meeting in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such Record Date, and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
2.6 Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement . To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a Director of the Corporation, the prospective nominee (whether nominated by or at the direction of the Board or by a stockholder), or someone acting on such prospective nominee’s behalf, must deliver (in accordance with any applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of a Stockholder’s Notice under Section 2.5 ) to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation a completed written questionnaire (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request) which accurately and completely provides such information with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made that would be required to be disclosed to stockholders pursuant to applicable law or the rules and regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, including without limitation (i) all information concerning such persons that would be required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of Directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, (ii) all information required to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a Director of the Corporation, to serve as an independent Director of the Corporation or to serve on each committee of the Board and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably required by the Corporation.

For purposes of this Section 2.6 , a “nominee” shall include any person being considered to fill a vacancy on the Board.
2.7 Fixing Meeting Record Date . In order that the Corporation may identify 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 decision or lawful action, the Board may fix a Record





Date, which Record Date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Record Date is adopted by the Board and which Record Date: (i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting; and (ii) in the case of any other action (other than a Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting), shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no Record Date is fixed: (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 of the meeting 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 and (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. The Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.17 of these Bylaws. When a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 2.7 , such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board fixes a new Record Date for the adjourned meeting.
2.8 Notice of Meetings of Stockholders . Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.7 and 2.9 of the Bylaws, whenever under the General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice shall be given stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the Record Date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided by law, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the Record Date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Notice may be given personally, by mail or by electronic transmission in accordance with Section 232 of the General Corporation Law. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder's address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. If notice is given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the times provided in the General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice required by this section has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given on 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 any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. If, however, the adjournment is for more than thirty 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 such adjourned meeting. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Exchange Act and Section 233 of the General Corporation Law. Any previously scheduled meeting of the stockholders may be postponed by the resolution of the Board upon Public Disclosure of such postponement given prior to the date previously scheduled for such meeting of stockholders.
2.9 Waivers of Notice . Whenever notice is required to be given to any stockholder under any provision of the General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, a waiver thereof either (i) signed by the stockholder entitled to notice or (ii) by electronic transmission by the stockholder entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder attends a 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.
2.10 List of Stockholders . The Secretary shall prepare and make, or cause to be prepared and made, 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 shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting 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 principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such 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.
2.11 Quorum of Stockholders; Adjournment . Except as otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum present. The Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders (including an adjourned meeting) may adjourn such meeting from time to time whether or not a quorum is present.
2.12 Voting; Proxies .
2.12.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every stockholder of record shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock having voting rights as to the matter being voted upon standing in his name on the record of stockholders determined in accordance with Section 2.7 or Section 2.17 of the Bylaws, as applicable. If the Certificate of Incorporation provides for more or less than one vote for any shares, on any matter, every reference in the Bylaws or the General Corporation Law to a majority of other proportion of stock shall refer to such majority or other proportion of the votes of such stock. The provisions of Sections 212 and 217 of the General Corporation Law shall apply in determining whether any shares of capital stock may be voted and the persons, if any, entitled to vote such shares; but the Corporation shall be protected in treating the persons in whose names shares of capital stock stand on the record of stockholders as owners thereof for all purposes.
2.12.2 Election of Directors at all meetings of the stockholders at which Directors are to be elected shall be by ballot, and, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect Directors under specified circumstances, a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting for the election of Directors at which a quorum is present shall elect Directors.
2.12.3 At any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by the Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes shall not be counted as votes cast. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in his or her discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting on any such matter shall be cast by written ballot.
2.12.4 Every stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. The validity and enforceability of any proxy shall be determined in accordance with Section 212 of the General Corporation Law.
2.13 Denial of Preemptive Rights . As provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, no stockholder of the Corporation shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for or to purchase, or to have offered to him for subscription or purchase, any additional securities of the Corporation.
2.14 Selection and Duties of Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders . The Board, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. The inspectors shall have the duties prescribed by law. Any report or certificate made by the inspector or inspectors shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by him or them.
2.15 Organization . Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence by the Chief Executive Officer, or in his absence by the President, or in his absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman





designated by the Board, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting shall announce at the meeting of the stockholders the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote.
2.16 Conduct of Meetings . The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; and (vi) the adjournment of the meeting. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
2.17 Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting .
2.17.1 Record Date .
A. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a Record Date for such purpose (a “ Written Consent Record Date ”), which Record Date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the Written Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Written Consent Record Date is adopted by the Board.
B. In the event that any stockholder seeks to have the stockholders authorize or take any action by written consent:
i. Such stockholder shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board to fix a Written Consent Record Date for the purpose of determining the stockholders entitled to take such action, which request shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation.
ii. The Board shall promptly, but in any event within 10 days after the date on which the written request for fixing a Written Consent Record Date in proper form was received by the Secretary, adopt a resolution fixing the Written Consent Record Date (unless a Record Date has previously been fixed by the Board pursuant to Section 2.17.1(A )), which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the Record Date is adopted by the Board.
iii. If no resolution fixing a Record Date has been adopted by the Board within such 10 day period after the date on which such a request is received, (A) the Written Consent Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to such action, when no prior action of the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in the manner described in Section 2.17.1 , and (B) the Written Consent Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to such action, when prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
C. Only stockholders of record on the Written Consent Record Date shall be entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting.
2.17.2 Stockholder Action . Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required by the General Corporation Law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, (i) shall be signed by the holders of record of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and (ii) shall be delivered to the Corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware, at its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the minute books in which proceedings of the minutes of stockholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of the signature of each stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take corporate action unless, within 60 days of the





earliest dated valid consent delivered in the manner described in this Section 2.17.2 and the General Corporation Law, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take such action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner described in this Section 2.17.2 and the General Corporation Law, and not revoked.
2.17.3 Appointment of Inspector . In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Section 2.17 and applicable law, to the Corporation of written consent or consents to take corporate action and/or any related revocation or revocations, the Corporation shall engage independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of performing promptly a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. For the purpose of permitting the inspectors to perform such review, no action by written consent and without a meeting shall be effective until such inspectors have completed their review, determined that the requisite number of valid and unrevoked consents delivered to the corporation in accordance with this Section 2.17 and applicable law have been obtained to authorize or take the action specified in the consents, and certified such determination for entry in the records of the corporation kept for the purpose of recording the proceedings of meetings of stockholders. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent or revocation thereof, whether before or after such certification by the independent inspectors, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto, and the seeking of injunctive relief in such litigation).
2.17.4 Miscellaneous . Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders entitled thereto in accordance with applicable law. References in this Section 2.17 to a written consent shall be deemed to include an electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken if such transmission complies with Section 228(d) of the General Corporation Law or any successor provision (as amended from time to time).

Unless noted conspicuously on the certificate representing such capital stock, or, in the case of uncertificated shares, contained in the notices sent pursuant to Section 151(f) of the General Corporation Law, a restriction, even though permitted by Section 202 of the General Corporation Law, shall be ineffective except against a person with actual knowledge of the restriction.

In addition, such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. The foregoing right shall apply whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a Director or officer or while serving as a director, officer or trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 8.3.1 , the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify any such person (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board.

indemnification.  Upon written request by an Indemnitee for indemnification, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall be made as follows:  (i) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors even though less than a quorum, (ii) by a committee consisting of Disinterested Directors designated by majority vote of such Disinterested Directors even though less than a quorum, (iii) if there are no Disinterested Directors or, if, such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel selected by the Board, in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (iv) by a majority vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event that there shall have occurred within two years prior to the date of the commencement of the proceeding for which indemnification is claimed a Change of Control, the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel, in which case the Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Indemnitee unless the Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Board.  If it is so determined that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to the Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination.
8.2 Mandatory Advancement of Expenses . To the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment or modification, only to the extent that such amendment or modification permits the Corporation to provide greater rights to advancement of expenses than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment or modification), each Indemnitee shall have (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to have) the right, without the need for any action by the Board, to be paid by the Corporation (and any successor of the Corporation by merger or otherwise) the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any Proceeding in advance of its final adjudication (as defined below). Such advances are to be paid by the Corporation within 20 days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the Indemnitee requesting such advance or advances from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such 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, the “ 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 of appeal (a “ final adjudication ”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this A rticle 8 or otherwise.
8.3 Claims .
8.3.1 (i) If a claim for indemnification under this Article 8 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of these Bylaws has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) if a request for advancement of expenses under this Article 8 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 20 days after a statement pursuant to Section 8.2 of these Bylaws and the required Undertaking, if any, have been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim for indemnification or request for advancement of expenses. 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 claim.  In (A) any suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (B) in any suit 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, under the General Corporation Law, the Indemnitee has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible for the Corporation to indemnify the Indemnitee for the amount claimed or that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested advancement of expenses, but (except where the required Undertaking, if any, has not been tendered to the Corporation) the burden of proving such defense, or that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, shall be on the Corporation.  Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board, Independent Counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board, Independent Counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the suit or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct.





8.3.2 If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 8.1.2 of these Bylaws that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 8.3.1 of these Bylaws.
8.3.3 The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding commenced pursuant to Section 8.3.1 of these Bylaws that the procedures and presumptions of this Article 8 are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in such proceeding that the Corporation is bound by all the provisions of this Article 8 .

8.4.2 All of the rights as to indemnification, advancement of expenses and otherwise conferred in this Article 8 , (i) shall not be exclusive of any other right which any 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 and (ii) cannot be terminated by the Corporation, the Board or the stockholders of the Corporation with respect to a person’s service prior to the date of such termination.
