Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Supplemental Indenture – Rovi Corporation

In connection with the Rovi Merger (as defined in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K), Rovi Corporation (“ Rovi ”) and TiVo Corporation (formerly known as Titan Technologies Corporation) (“ Parent ” or the “ Company ”) executed a supplemental indenture dated as of September 7, 2016 (the “ Rovi Supplemental Indenture ”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“ U.S. Bank ”), to the indenture dated as of March 4, 2015 between Rovi and U.S. Bank relating to Rovi’s 0.500% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “ Rovi Notes ”), as supplemented by the Rovi Supplemental Indenture (the “ Rovi Indenture ”). Pursuant to the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, the Company agreed to fully and unconditionally guaranty the obligations of Rovi under the Rovi Indenture (the “ Guaranty ”). The Rovi Supplemental Indenture provides that, at and after the effective time of the Rovi Merger, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the Rovi Notes into shares of Rovi Common Stock (as defined in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), dated as of April 28, 2016, by and among Rovi, TiVo Inc. (now known as TiVo Solutions Inc.) (“ TiVo ”), Parent, Nova Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“ Nova ”) and Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“ Titan ”)) will be changed into the right to convert such principal amount of such Rovi Notes into shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at the same conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the Rovi Merger.

The Rovi Indenture provides for customary events of default which are applicable to the Guaranty. Those customary events of default, which are set forth in Article 6 of the Rovi Indenture, include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants in the Rovi Indenture, payment defaults of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy. Generally, if an event of default occurs, U.S. Bank or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Rovi Notes may declare the Rovi Notes to be immediately due and payable.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In addition, in connection with the Rovi Supplemental Indenture, the Company guaranteed certain obligations of Rovi under its convertible note hedge transactions, which were also amended to cover the delivery of shares of Parent Common Stock, and the warrant transactions, which were also amended to be exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock.

Supplemental Indenture – TiVo Solutions Inc.

In connection with the TiVo Merger (as defined in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K), TiVo and the Company executed a supplemental indenture dated as of September 7, 2016 (the “ TiVo Supplemental Indenture ”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (“ Wells Fargo ”), to the indenture dated as of September 22, 2014 between TiVo and Wells Fargo relating to TiVo’s 2% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “ TiVo Notes ”), as supplemented by the TiVo Supplemental Indenture (the “ TiVo Indenture ”). Pursuant to the TiVo Supplemental Indenture, at and after the effective time of the TiVo Merger, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of the TiVo Notes into shares


of TiVo Common Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be changed into the right to convert such principal amount of such TiVo Notes into a number of “units of Reference Property” in effect prior to the effective time of the TiVo Merger equal to $2.75 in cash and 0.3853 of a share of Parent Common Stock per share of TiVo Common Stock at the same conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the effective time of the TiVo Merger.

The TiVo Indenture provides for customary events of default, which are set forth in Article 6 of the TiVo Indenture and include nonpayment of principal or interest, breach of covenants in the TiVo Indenture, payment defaults of other indebtedness, failure to pay certain judgments and certain events of bankruptcy. Generally, if an event of default occurs, Wells Fargo or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding TiVo Notes may declare the TiVo Notes to be immediately due and payable.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On September 7, 2016, pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (1) Nova merged with and into Rovi, with Rovi as the surviving corporation (the “ Rovi Merger ”), and (2) Titan merged with and into TiVo, with TiVo as the surviving corporation (the “ TiVo Merger ” and, together with the Rovi Merger, the “ Mergers ”). As a result of the Mergers, Rovi and TiVo each became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Parent.

At the effective time of the Rovi Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of Rovi Common Stock was converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock and (ii) each Rovi Stock Option, Rovi Restricted Stock Award and Rovi RSU (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) was assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a Parent Stock Option, Parent Restricted Stock Award and Parent RSU (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), respectively, each on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Rovi Stock Option, Rovi Restricted Stock Award and Rovi RSU.

At the effective time of the TiVo Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of TiVo Common Stock automatically converted into a right to receive (x) 0.3853 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock and (y) $2.75 in cash and (ii) each TiVo Stock Option, TiVo Restricted Stock Award and TiVo RSU (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) was assumed by Parent and automatically converted into a Parent Stock Option, Parent Restricted Stock Award and Parent RSU (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), respectively, each on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such TiVo Stock Option, TiVo Restricted Stock Award and TiVo RSU (but, taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the TiVo Stock Plans (as defined in the Merger Agreement) in any award agreement or in any such TiVo Stock Option, TiVo Restricted Stock Award or TiVo RSU, as applicable, by reason of the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby). The Exchange Ratio was determined based on (i) the amount of $7.95, divided by (ii) the volume weighted average of the price of Rovi Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market, as reported by Bloomberg L.P., for the fifteen consecutive trading days ended on and including September 1, 2016, which was $20.6344. A copy of the Merger Agreement was filed as Annex A of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus included in the Registration Statement (as defined below) and is incorporated by reference herein.


The issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Mergers was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Parent’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-211874) (the “ Registration Statement ”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and declared effective on August 2, 2016. The definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus of Rovi and TiVo, dated August 2, 2016, that forms a part of the Registration Statement (the “ Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus ”), contains additional information about the Mergers, including information concerning the interests of directors, executive officers and affiliates of Rovi and TiVo in the Mergers.

Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”), Parent hereby identifies itself as the successor issuer to Rovi and the Parent Common Stock is deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The Parent Common Stock has been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and will trade under the symbol “TIVO” as of September 8, 2016.

The Rovi Common Stock was registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the TiVo Common Stock was registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market. Effective as of the close of market on September 7, 2016, each of the Rovi Common Stock and the TiVo Common Stock will cease to be traded and will no longer be quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Nasdaq Global Market, respectively. As a consequence of the Mergers, a Form 25 has been filed with the SEC to request the removal of the TiVo Common Stock from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Global Market and from registration under the Exchange Act, and each of TiVo and Rovi will file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration under the Exchange Act of the TiVo Common Stock and the Rovi Common Stock, respectively, and suspend all of their respective reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above concerning the entry into the Rovi Supplemental Indenture and the TiVo Supplemental Indenture is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above concerning the entry into the Rovi Supplemental Indenture is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On September 7, 2016, upon the effective time of the Rovi Merger, Parent’s certificate of incorporation was amended and restated to include certain transfer restrictions intended to preserve tax benefits of Parent pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code that apply to transfers made by 5% stockholders, transferees related to a 5% stockholder, transferees acting in coordination with a 5% stockholder, or transfers that would result in a stockholder becoming a 5% stockholder. Such transfer restrictions will expire on the earlier of (i) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if Parent’s board of directors (the “ Parent Board ”) determines that such restrictions are no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of certain tax benefits, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year to which the Parent Board determines that no tax benefits may be carried forward or (iii) such other date as the Parent Board shall fix in accordance with the Parent’s certificate of incorporation. Parent plans to seek a stockholder advisory vote with respect to the maintenance of such transfer restrictions in its certificate of incorporation at its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.


The following summary of the material terms of Parent’s capital stock is subject in all respects to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 and Exhibit 3.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Common Stock

Parent is authorized to issue up to 250 million shares of Parent Common Stock.

Holders of shares of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Parent Board out of funds legally available for payment.

Each holder of shares of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share. Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and when issued and subject to applicable law, all voting rights are vested in the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock. Holders of shares of Parent Common Stock have noncumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect 100% of the directors and the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors.

In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Parent, the holders of shares of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to share equally in any of the assets available for distribution after Parent has paid in full all of its debts and after the holders of all series of Parent’s outstanding preferred stock have received their liquidation preferences in full.

The issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of shares of Parent Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights. Shares of Parent Common Stock are not convertible into shares of any other class of capital stock.

Preferred Stock

The Parent Board is authorized, without further stockholder action, to issue up to 5 million shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to determine the voting powers and the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other to fix the number of shares of any such series, and to fix the designation of any such series as well as the powers, preferences, and rights and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of the preferred stock and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding).

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above concerning the entry into the Rovi Supplemental Indenture and the TiVo Supplemental Indenture is incorporated by reference in response to this item.


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 30, 2016, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Rovi and Parent set the size of the Parent Board, to be in effect as of immediately following the Mergers, at nine members.

Hinson would join Rovi directors Thomas Carson, Alan L. Earhart, Eddy W. Hartenstein, N. Steven Lucas, James E. Meyer (Chair), Raghavendra Rau and Glenn W. Welling on the Parent Board.

10.2 Transfer and Ownership Restrictions . In order to preserve the Tax Benefits, from and after the Effective Date of this ARTICLE X, any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities prior to the Expiration Date and any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Expiration Date, shall be prohibited and void ab initio if such Transfer is described in subsection (a) or subsection (b), below.

(a) An attempted Transfer is described in this subsection (a) if the transferor is a 5-percent Stockholder and either (i) the attempted Transfer is not an Open Market Transaction, or (ii) the attempted Transfer would reduce the transferor’s Percentage Stock Ownership below the transferor’s lowest Percentage Stock Ownership during the 3-year period preceding the attempted Transfer; or

(b) An attempted Transfer is described in this subsection (b) if the transferee is a 5-percent Stockholder, related to a 5-percent Stockholder, or acting in coordination with a 5-percent Stockholder, or as a result of the attempted Transfer the transferee would become a 5-percent Stockholder, and either (i) the attempted Transfer is not an Open Market Transaction, or (ii) to the extent that the attempted Transfer (or any series of attempted Transfers of which such attempted Transfer is a part) the Percentage Stock Ownership of the transferee or any other 5-percent Stockholder would be increased.

10.3 Exceptions . The restrictions set forth in Section 10.2 shall not apply to an attempted Transfer that is a Prohibited Transfer if the transferor or the Transferee obtains the written approval of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. As a condition to granting its approval pursuant to this Section 10.3, the Board of Directors, may, in its discretion, require (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) an opinion of counsel selected by the Board of Directors that the Transfer shall not result in the application of any Section 382 of the Code limitation on the use of the Tax Benefits; provided that the Board may grant such approval notwithstanding the effect of such approval on the Tax Benefits if it determines that the approval is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may impose any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection with such approval, including, without limitation, restrictions on the ability of any Transferee to Transfer Stock acquired through a Transfer. Approvals of the Board of Directors hereunder may be given prospectively or retroactively. The Board of Directors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this ARTICLE X through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 10.3 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

10.4 Excess Securities .

(a) No employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of such a Prohibited Transfer (the “ Purported Transferee ”) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities which are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the “ Excess Securities ”). The Excess Securities shall be deemed to remain owned by the transferor unless and until the Excess Securities are transferred to the Agent pursuant to Section 10.5 or until an approval is obtained under Section 10.3. Unless and until the Excess Securities are acquired by the Purported Transferee in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any. After the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. For this purpose, any Transfer of Excess Securities not in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.4 or Section 10.5 shall also be a Prohibited Transfer.

 

5


(b) The Corporation may require as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities or the payment of any distribution on any Corporation Securities that the proposed Transferee or payee furnish to the Corporation all information reasonably requested by the Corporation with respect to all the direct or indirect ownership interests in such Corporation Securities. The Corporation may make such arrangements or issue such instructions to its stock transfer agent as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be necessary or advisable to implement this ARTICLE X, including, without limitation, authorizing such transfer agent to require an affidavit from a Purported Transferee regarding such Person’s actual and constructive ownership of stock and other evidence that a Transfer will not be prohibited by this ARTICLE X as a condition to registering any transfer.

(c) If the attempted Transfer of the Excess Securities is described in Paragraph 10.2(a) and not Paragraph 10.2(b), the transferor shall promptly remit (i) to the Agent an amount sufficient to enable the Agent to acquire the Excess Securities in an Open Market Transaction for the account of the transferor and (ii) to the Corporation such amount as the Board determines represents any profit realized by the transferor in the transaction.

(d) If the attempted Transfer of the Excess Securities is described in Paragraph 10.2(b) (whether or not it is also described in Paragraph 10.2(a)), the provisions of Paragraph 10.5 shall apply.

10.5 Transfer to Agent . If the Board of Directors determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer then, upon written demand by the Corporation sent within thirty (30) days of the date on which the Board of Directors determines that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Securities, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported Transferee’s possession or control, together with any Prohibited Distributions, to an agent designated by the Board of Directors (the “ Agent ”). The Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s-length transactions (on the public securities market on which such Excess Securities are traded, if possible, or otherwise privately); provided , however , that any such sale must not constitute a Prohibited Transfer and provided , further , that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s demand to surrender Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 10.6 if the Agent rather than the Purported Transferee had resold the Excess Securities.

10.6 Application of Proceeds and Prohibited Distributions . The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee has previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, together, in either case, with any Prohibited Distributions, as follows: (a) first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder; (b) second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or the fair market value at the time of the Transfer, in the event the purported Transfer of the Excess Securities was, in whole or in part, a gift, inheritance or similar Transfer) which amount shall be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors; and (c) third, any

 

6


remaining amounts shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) of the Code (or any comparable successor provision) selected by the Board of Directors. The Purported Transferee of Excess Securities shall have no claim, cause of action or any other recourse whatsoever against any transferor of Excess Securities. The Purported Transferee’s sole right with respect to such shares shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to this Section 10.6. In no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Section 10.6 inure to the benefit of the Corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover costs and expenses incurred by Agent in performing its duties hereunder.

10.7 Modification of Remedies for Certain Indirect Transfers . In the event of any Transfer which does not involve a transfer of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Delaware law (“ Securities , ” and individually, a “ Security ”) but which would cause a 5-percent Stockholder to violate a restriction on Transfers provided for in this ARTICLE X, the application of Section 10.5 and Section 10.6 shall be modified as described in this Section 10.7. In such case, no such 5-percent Stockholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Security, but such 5-percent Stockholder and/or any Person whose ownership of Securities is attributed to such 5-percent Stockholder shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Securities (which Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such 5-percent Stockholder, following such disposition, not to be in violation of this ARTICLE X. Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Sections 10.5 and 10.6, except that the maximum aggregate amount payable either to such 5-percent Stockholder, or to such other Person that was the direct holder of such Excess Securities, in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer. All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Stock shall be paid out of any amounts due such 5-percent Stockholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 10.7 is to tailor the remedies for a Prohibited Transaction in Sections 10.2, 10.4 and 10.5 to situations in which there is a 5-percent Transaction, and this Section 10.7, along with the other provisions of this ARTICLE X, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities.

10.8 Legal Proceedings; Prompt Enforcement . If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to Section 10.5 (whether or not made within the time specified in Section 10.5), then the Corporation shall promptly take all cost effective actions which it believes are appropriate to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender. Nothing in this Section 10.8 shall (a) be deemed inconsistent with any Transfer of the Excess Securities provided in this ARTICLE X being void ab initio , (b) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand or (c) cause any failure of the Corporation to act within the time periods set forth in Section 10.5 to constitute a waiver or loss of any right of the Corporation under this ARTICLE X. The Board of Directors may authorize such additional actions as it deems advisable to give effect to the provisions of this ARTICLE X.

10.9 Liability . To the fullest extent permitted by law, any stockholder subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE X who knowingly violates the provisions of this ARTICLE X and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with such stockholder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including but not limited to damages resulting from a

reduction in, or elimination of, the Corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits, and attorneys’ and auditors’ fees incurred in connection with such violation.

 

7


10.10 Obligation to Provide Information . As a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Stock, any Person who is a beneficial, legal or record holder of Stock, and any proposed Transferee and any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with the proposed Transferee, shall provide such information as the Corporation may request from time to time in order to determine compliance with this ARTICLE X or the status of the Tax Benefits of the Corporation.

10.11 Legends . The Board of Directors may require that any certificates issued by the Corporation evidencing ownership of shares of Stock that are subject to the restrictions on transfer and ownership contained in this ARTICLE X bear the following legend:

“THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION (THE “ CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION ”), OF THE CORPORATION CONTAINS RESTRICTIONS PROHIBITING THE TRANSFER (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION) OF COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION (INCLUDING THE CREATION OR GRANT OF CERTAIN OPTIONS, RIGHTS AND WARRANTS) WITHOUT THE PRIOR AUTHORIZATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CORPORATION (THE “ BOARD OF DIRECTORS ”) IF SUCH TRANSFER AFFECTS THE PERCENTAGE OF STOCK OF THE CORPORATION (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 382 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “ CODE ”) AND THE TREASURY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER), THAT IS TREATED AS OWNED BY A FIVE PERCENT SHAREHOLDER UNDER THE CODE AND SUCH REGULATIONS. IF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE VIOLATED, THEN THE TRANSFER WILL BE VOID AB INITIO AND THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE OF THE STOCK WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER EXCESS SECURITIES (AS DEFINED IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION) TO THE CORPORATION’S AGENT. IN THE EVENT OF A TRANSFER WHICH DOES NOT INVOLVE SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (“ SECURITIES ”) BUT WHICH WOULD VIOLATE THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE (OR THE RECORD OWNER) OF THE SECURITIES WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER SUFFICIENT SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CORPORATION’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO CAUSE THE FIVE PERCENT STOCKHOLDER TO NO LONGER BE IN VIOLATION OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE A COPY OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, CONTAINING THE ABOVE-REFERENCED TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.”

The Board of Directors may also require that any certificates issued by the Corporation evidencing ownership of shares of Stock that are subject to conditions imposed by the Board of Directors under Section 10.3 of this ARTICLE X also bear a conspicuous legend referencing the applicable restrictions.

10.12 Authority of Board of Directors .

(a) The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for assessing compliance with this ARTICLE X, including, without limitation, (i) the identification of 5-percent Stockholders, (ii) whether a Transfer is a 5-percent Transaction or a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any 5-percent Stockholder, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee pursuant to Section 10.6, and (vi) any other matters which the Board of Directors determines to be relevant; and the good faith determination of the Board of Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all the purposes of this ARTICLE X. In addition, the Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind by-laws, regulations and procedures of the Corporation not inconsistent with the provisions of this ARTICLE X for purposes of determining whether any Transfer of Corporation Securities would jeopardize the Corporation’s ability to preserve and use the Tax Benefits and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of this ARTICLE X.

(b) Nothing contained in this ARTICLE X shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and its stockholders in preserving the Tax Benefits. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors may, by adopting a written resolution, (i) accelerate or extend the Expiration Date, (ii) modify the ownership interest percentage in the Corporation or the Persons or groups covered by this ARTICLE X, (iii) modify the definitions of any terms set forth in this ARTICLE X or (iv) modify the terms of this ARTICLE X as appropriate, in each case, in order to prevent an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 of the Code as a result of any changes in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise; provided , however , that the Board of Directors shall not cause there to be such acceleration, extension or modification unless it determines, by adopting a written resolution, that such action is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the Tax Benefits or that the continuation of these restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary for the preservation of the Tax Benefits. Stockholders of the Corporation shall be notified of such determination through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or such other method of notice as the Secretary of the Corporation shall deem appropriate.

(c) In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this ARTICLE X, including any definition used herein, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event this ARTICLE X requires an action by the Board of Directors but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this ARTICLE X. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations which are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties for all other purposes of this ARTICLE X. The Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this ARTICLE X to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems necessary or advisable and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this ARTICLE X through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this ARTICLE X shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

10.13 Reliance . To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board of Directors shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer or the corporate controller of the Corporation or of the Corporation’s legal counsel, independent auditors,

 

9


transfer agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by this ARTICLE X, and the members of the Board of Directors shall not be responsible for any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owned by any stockholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities.

10.14 Benefits of this Article X . Nothing in this ARTICLE X shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this ARTICLE X. This ARTICLE X shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.

10.15 Severability . The purpose of this ARTICLE X is to facilitate the Corporation’s ability to maintain or preserve its Tax Benefits. If any provision of this ARTICLE X or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this ARTICLE X.

10.16 Waiver . With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent under this ARTICLE X, (1) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (2) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

1.1 Principal Office . The Board of Directors shall fix the location of the principal executive office of the corporation at any place within or outside the State of Delaware.

1.2 Other Offices . The Board of Directors may at any time establish branch or subordinate offices at any place or places where the corporation is qualified to do business.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 Place of Meetings . Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of Delaware designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any such designation, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

2.2 Annual Meetings of Stockholders . The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year on a date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted.

At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s 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 first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s 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 contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received a reasonable time before the solicitation is made. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting shall not commence a new time period or extend any time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

 

1

The requirements of this Section 2.2 shall apply to any nominations or business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, whether such nomination or other business is to be included in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act or presented to stockholders by means of an independent financed proxy solicitation.

2.3 Special Meetings . A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President, or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than twenty percent (20%) of the entire capital stock of the corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

For nominations to be properly brought before a special meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day before such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such special meeting is first made. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the special meeting shall not commence a new time period or extend any time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall include the information set forth in the third paragraph of Section 2.2 above.

The requirements of this Section 2.3 shall apply to any nominations or business to be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, whether such nomination or other business is to be included in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act or presented to stockholders by means of an independent financed proxy solicitation.

2.4 Notice of Stockholders Meetings . All notices of meetings of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 2.5 not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting being noticed. The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the stockholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees which, at the time of the notice, management intends to present for election.

If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 144 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, (ii) an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to Section 242 of such Law, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to Section 251 of such Law, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation, pursuant to Section 275 of such Law, the notice shall also state the general nature of such proposal.

If any notice addressed to a stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the stockholder at such address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if the same shall be available to the stockholder upon written demand of the stockholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one (1) year from the date of the giving of such notice.

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any stockholders’ meeting shall be executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent of the corporation giving such notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

2.6 Quorum . The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

2.7 Adjourned Meeting and Notice Thereof . Any stockholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at such meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at such meeting, except as provided in Section 2.6.

When any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record date. Notice of any such adjourned meeting, if required, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5. At any adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

2.8 Voting . The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11, subject to the provisions of Section 217 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation or in joint ownership). Such vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided , however , that all elections for directors must be by ballot upon demand by a stockholder at any election and before the voting begins. Any stockholder entitled to vote on any matter (other than the election of directors) may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the stockholder fails to specify the number of shares such stockholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the stockholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares such stockholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter (other than the election of directors) shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the Articles of Incorporation.

2.9 Waiver of Notice or Consent By Absent Stockholders . The transactions of any meeting of stockholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or

 

5


special meeting of stockholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second paragraph of Section 2.4, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of such proposal. All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at the meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters not included in the notice of the meeting if such objection is expressly made at the meeting.

2.10 Stockholder Action By Written Consent Without a Meeting . No action shall be taken by the stockholders of the corporation except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, and no action shall be taken by the stockholders by written consent.

2.11 Record Date for Stockholder Notice and Voting . For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days prior to the date of any such meeting, and in such case only stockholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares of the books of the corporation after the record date fixed as aforesaid, except as otherwise provided in the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date, 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 business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

2.12 Proxies . Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any other matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, prior to the vote pursuant thereto, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of such proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant thereto is counted; provided , however , that no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three (3) years from the date of such proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 212(c) and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

2.13 Inspectors of Election . Before any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill such vacancy.

The duties of these inspectors shall be as follows:

(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies;

(b) Receive votes, ballots or consents;

(c) Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;

(d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

(e) Determine when the polls shall close;

(f) Determine the result; and

(g) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

3.1 Powers . Subject to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware and any limitations in the Articles 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 of Directors.

Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the directors shall have the power and authority to:

(a) Select and remove all officers, agents and employees of the corporation, prescribe such powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, fix their compensation and require from them security for faithful service.

3.2 Number of Directors . The board of directors shall consist of at least five (5) members. The number of directors shall be fixed from time to time by a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors. No decrease in the authorized number of directors constituting the board of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Directors need not be stockholders of the corporation.

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. Except as provided in Section 3.4 of this Article, each director shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to the director at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, provided that if as of a date that is fourteen (14) days in advance of the date the corporation files its definitive proxy statement (regardless of whether or not thereafter revised or supplemented) with the Securities and Exchange Commission the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at any such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. For purposes of this section, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast against that director. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has established procedures under which any director who is not elected shall offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will make a recommendation to the Board on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board will act on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. 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 elected and qualified.

A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist in the case of the death, resignation or removal of any director, or if the Board of Directors by resolution declares vacant the office of a director who has been declared of unsound mind by an order of court or convicted of a felony, or if the authorized number of directors be increased, or if the stockholders fail, at any meeting of stockholders at which any director or directors are elected, to elect the full authorized number of directors to be voted for at that meeting.

The stockholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors.

Any director may resign upon giving written notice to the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Secretary or the Board of Directors. A resignation shall be effective upon the giving of the notice, unless the notice specifies a later time for its effectiveness. If the resignation of a director is effective at a future time, the Board of Directors may elect a successor to take office when the resignation becomes effective.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of his term of office.

3.5 Place of Meetings and Telephonic Meetings . Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held at any place within or without the State that has been designated from time to time by resolution of the Board. In the absence of such designation, regular meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation. Special meetings of the Board shall be held at any place within or without the State that has been designated in the notice of the meeting or, if not stated in the notice or if there is no notice, at the principal executive office of the corporation. Any meeting, regular or special, may be held by conference telephone or similar communication equipment, so long as all directors participating in such meeting can hear one another, and all such directors shall be deemed to be present in person at such meeting.

3.9 Quorum . A majority of the authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except to adjourn as hereinafter provided. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the Board of Directors, subject to the provisions of Section 144 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (approval of contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect material financial interest), Section 141(c) (appointment of committees), and Section 145 (indemnification of directors). 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 such meeting.

3.10 Waiver of Notice . The transactions of any meeting of the Board of Directors, however called and noticed or wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if a quorum be present and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the directors not present signs a written waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify the purpose of the meeting. Al such waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Notice of a meeting shall also be deemed given to any director who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to such director.

3.14 Fees and Compensation of Directors . Directors and members of committees may receive such compensation, if any, for their services, and such reimbursement of expenses, as may be fixed or determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity as an officer, agent, employee or otherwise, and receiving compensation for such services.

6.3 Indemnification in Certain Cases . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been wholly successful on the merits or otherwise absolved in any Proceeding referred to in Section 6.1 or 6.2 on any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee, to the maximum extent permitted by law, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by Indemnitee in connection with each successfully resolved claim, issue or matter. For purposes of this Section 6.3 and without limitation, the following shall be shall deemed to be a successful resolution as to such claim, issue or matter: (i) the termination of any such claim, issue or matter by dismissal with or without prejudice, and (ii) the termination of any such claim, issue or matter by any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, unless it is established in such Proceeding referred to in Section 6.1 or 6.2 that the Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

6.4 Procedure.

(a) Any indemnification under Section 6.1 and 6.2 (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper (except that the right of Indemnitee to receive payments pursuant to Section 6.5 shall not be subject to this Section 6.4) in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such Sections 6.1 and 6.2. When seeking indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit a written request for indemnification to the corporation. Such requests shall include documentation or information which is necessary for the corporation to make a determination of Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification and is reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Secretary of the corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of Indemnitee’s request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors that Indemnitee has made such request for indemnification.

 

15


(b) The entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification shall be determined in the specific case by a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors consisting of Disinterested Directors, except that such determination shall be made by Independent Legal Counsel, if either such a quorum is not obtainable or the Board of Directors, by the majority vote of Disinterested Directors, so directs.

(c) In the event the determination of entitlement is to be made by Independent Legal Counsel, such Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors and approved by Indemnitee. Upon failure of the Board of Directors to so select such Independent Legal Counsel or upon failure of Indemnitee to so approve, such Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by the Chancellor of the State of Delaware or such other person as such Chancellor shall designate to make such selection.

(d) If the Board of Directors or Independent Legal Counsel shall have determined (which determination, in the case of Independent Counsel, shall be in the form of a written opinion stating that the facts known to such Independent Counsel demonstrate clearly and convincingly that Indemnitee acted in bad faith or in a manner that Indemnitee did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation) that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification to the full extent of Indemnitee’s request, Indemnitee shall have the right to seek entitlement to indemnification in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.6.

(e) If the person or persons empowered pursuant to Section 6.4(b) to make a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification shall have failed to make the requested determination within 90 days after receipt by the corporation of such request, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be absolutely entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) misrepresentation by Indemnitee of a material fact in the request for indemnification or (ii) a final judicial determination that all or any part of such indemnification is expressly prohibited by law.

(f) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, adversely affect the rights of Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder except as may be specifically provided herein, or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or create a presumption that (with respect to any criminal action or proceeding) Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

(g) For purposes of any determination of good faith hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by General Corporation Law of Delaware, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the corporation or an Affiliate, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the corporation or an Affiliate in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the corporation or an Affiliate or on information or records given or reports made to the corporation or an Affiliate by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the corporation or an Affiliate. The provisions of this Section 6.4(g) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in these Bylaws.

 

16


6.5 Payment for Expenses and Costs . All expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation, as incurred, in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting from time to time such payment or payments whether or not a determination to indemnify has been made under Section 6.4. Such statement or statements shall evidence such expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith and, if the General Corporation Law of Delaware requires, shall include or be accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to the terms of this Article VI or otherwise.

6.6 Remedies in Cases of Determination not to Indemnify or to Pay Expenses.

(a) In the event that (i) a determination is made that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, (ii) payments are not made pursuant to Section 6.5 or (iii) payment has not been timely made following a determination of entitlement to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.4, Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek a final adjudication in an appropriate court of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such indemnification or payment.

(b) In the event a determination has been made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4, in whole or in part, that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding referred to in Section 6.6(a) shall be de novo and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of any such prior determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

(c) If a determination is made or deemed to have been made pursuant to the terms of Sections 6.4 or 6.6 that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the corporation shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding in the absence of (i) a misrepresentation of a material fact by Indemnitee or (ii) a final judicial determination that all or any part of such indemnification is expressly prohibited by law.

(d) To the extent deemed appropriate by the court, interest shall be paid by the corporation to Indemnitee at a reasonable interest rate for amounts which the corporation indemnifies or is obliged to indemnify Indemnitee for the period commencing with the date on which Indemnitee requested indemnification (or reimbursement of expenses) and ending with the date on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by the corporation.

(e) If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover a payment of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the ht by indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification to this Article VI or otherwise (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to a payment of

 

17


expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by pursuant the corporation to recover a payment of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption action, that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to payment of expenses hereunder, or brought by the corporation to recover an payment of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such payment of expenses, under this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

6.7 Rights Non-Exclusive . The rights of indemnification and payment of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or payment of expenses may be entitled under any law, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the corporation, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or resolution of directors of otherwise, and the corporation may, by action of the Board of Directors from time to time, enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents. No amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement of these Bylaws or any provision hereof shall be effective as to Indemnitee with respect to any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s position with the corporation or an affiliate or any other entity which Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the corporation prior to such amendment, alteration, rescission or replacement.

(d) The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby.

Section 3.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability . The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Note Guarantee, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under the Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable local law.
