Section 1. The corporation’s registered office in the State of Delaware shall be in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle.

Section 2. The corporation may also have offices at such other places, within and without the State of Delaware, as the board of directors may, from time to time, determine, or the business of the corporation may require.

ARTICLE II – MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. All meetings of the stockholders for the election of directors shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, as may be fixed, from time to time, by the board of directors. Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time or place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a waiver of notice thereof.

Section 2. Annual meetings of stockholders for the election of directors shall be held on such date and at such time, within thirteen months after the corporation’s last annual meeting of stockholders, as shall be designated by the board of directors. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders shall elect directors and transact such other business (other than director nominations, which are subject to the requirements of Section 1(b) of Article III or Section 18 of Article III) as may be properly brought before the meeting in accordance with Section 3 of this Article II.

Section 3. Only proposals that are submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3 of Article II may be presented for consideration by stockholders of the corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Proposals may be presented for consideration by the stockholders of the corporation at an annual or special meeting of stockholders (x) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (y) by any stockholder of the corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 3, who shall be entitled to vote for such proposal at the meeting and remains so through the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (y) shall be the exclusive means for a

stockholder to present proposals (except proposals submitted in accordance with the eligibility and procedural requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and included in the corporation’s proxy statement) for consideration by the corporation’s stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. In order to be considered by the stockholders of the corporation at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s proposal must be a proper matter for stockholder consideration at such meeting and must be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation, as provided by this Section 3.

To be timely, a stockholder’s notice of any proposal to be presented by a stockholder at any annual meeting of stockholders shall be delivered in writing to the secretary of the corporation at the principal executive office of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders nor earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 60 calendar days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 calendar days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the close of business on the tenth calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the delivery of a stockholder’s notice under this Section 3. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice of any proposal to be presented by a stockholder at any special meeting of stockholders shall be delivered in writing to the secretary of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day before the date of the special meeting nor later than the later of the close of business on the 120th calendar day before the date of the special meeting or the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting was first made by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the delivery of a stockholder’s notice under this Section 3. To be in proper form, a stockholder’s notice of any proposal to be presented at any stockholders meeting shall include: (i) the text of the proposal to be presented, (ii) a brief written statement of the reasons for such

2

stockholder’s support of the proposal, (iii) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the proposing stockholder and the name and address of any Stockholder Associated Person (defined below) covered by clauses (iv), (vi) and (vii) below, (iv) (A) the class or series and number of shares or other securities of the corporation which are directly or indirectly owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder or by any Stockholder Associated Person, (B) any proxy, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the corporation, and (C) any derivative positions held of record or beneficially by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person related to, or the value of which is derived in whole or in part from, the value of any class of the corporation’s shares or other securities and whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding has been made, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit from share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to the corporation’s shares or other securities, (v) a representation that such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to remain as such, and intends to appear in person or by proxy to present the proposal at such meeting, (vi) a detailed description of any material interest of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person in the proposal, including a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between or among any of the stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person (name such person or persons) in connection with the proposal of such business, (vii) any performance related-fee (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person is entitled to receive, either directly or indirectly, based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the corporation or any derivative positions related to, or the value of which is derived in whole or in part from, the value of any class of the corporation’s shares or other securities (viii) any other information regarding such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person or such proposal that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with a contested solicitation of proxies pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, if Section 14 were applicable, and (ix) a statement whether either such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal and/or otherwise solicit proxies in support of such proposal. The chairman of the meeting shall determine and declare to the meeting whether a proposal was made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should determine that it was not so made, he shall so declare to the meeting and such proposal shall be disregarded.

3

No business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may be brought before the meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes any action contrary to the representations made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 applicable to such business or if the notice of the proposal applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that such business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, and, if the chairman of the meeting should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be conducted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 3; provided, however, that any references herein to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to stockholder proposals pursuant to this Section 3. Nothing in this Section 3 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the corporation’s stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act.

“Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder means (A) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (B) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and (C) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Stockholder Associated Person.

Section 4. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given in accordance with Article IV of these bylaws stating the place, date and time 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

4

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 in the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, such notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 calendar 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.

Section 5. The corporation shall prepare and make, or have prepared and made, at least 10 calendar days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 calendar days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth calendar day before the meeting date. The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder upon reasonable notice to the corporation for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 calendar days prior to the meeting during ordinary business hours at the corporation’s principal place of business. Such list shall also 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. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

Section 6. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called by the chairman of the board and shall be called by the chairman of the board or secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the board of directors. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 7. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting or as may be required by law, until a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

5

Section 8. When a quorum is present at any meeting of stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power, present in person or represented by proxy, shall decide any question brought before the meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of law or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law or in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock having voting power, registered in the stockholder’s name on the stock books of the corporation as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. At all elections of directors, each stockholder of the corporation having voting power shall have the right of cumulative voting as provided in the certificate of incorporation.

Section 10. At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed (i) by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder or (ii) by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission that sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person having the right to vote at the meeting.

Section 11. Before any meeting of stockholders, the corporation shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The inspector or inspectors of election shall have the duties and powers prescribed or authorized, as the case may be, in Section 231 of the DGCL.

6

Section 12. At any meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting or as may be required by law. At such adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

PROXY ACCESS

Section 18. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of these bylaws, whenever the board of directors solicits proxies with respect to the election of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, the corporation (i) shall include in its proxy statement and on its form of proxy the names of, and (ii) shall include in its proxy statement the “Additional Information” (as defined below) relating to, the Authorized Number (as defined below) of nominees for election to the board of directors submitted pursuant to this Section 18 (each, a “Stockholder Nominee”), if: (A) the Stockholder Nominee satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 18; (B) the Stockholder Nominee is identified in a timely notice (the “Stockholder Notice”) that satisfies this Section 18 and is delivered by a stockholder that qualifies as, or is acting on behalf of, an Eligible Stockholder (as defined below); (C) the Eligible Stockholder satisfies the requirements in this Section 18 and expressly elects at the time of the delivery of the Stockholder Notice to have the Stockholder Nominee included in the corporation’s proxy materials; and (D) any additional applicable requirements of these bylaws are met.

(b) The maximum number of Stockholder Nominees appearing in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Authorized Number”) shall not exceed the greater of (i) two or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Stockholder Notice may be delivered pursuant to this Section 18 with respect to the annual meeting, or, if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number (rounding down) below twenty percent (20%); provided, however, that the Authorized Number shall be reduced (A) by any Stockholder Nominee whose name was submitted for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 18 but whom the board of directors decides to nominate as a board of directors nominee, but not below one; (B) by any directors in office or director nominees that, in either case, shall

14

be included in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to the annual meeting as an unopposed (by the corporation) nominee pursuant to an agreement, arrangement or other understanding between the corporation and a stockholder or a group of stockholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or other understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of capital stock, by the stockholder or the group of stockholders, from the corporation); and (C) by any nominees who were previously elected to the board of directors as Stockholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings and who are nominated for election at the annual meeting by the board of directors as a board of directors nominee. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs after the date of the Stockholder Notice but before the annual meeting and the board of directors resolves to reduce the size of the board of directors in connection therewith, the Authorized Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(c) To qualify as an “Eligible Stockholder” for purposes of this Section 18, a stockholder or a group of stockholders must: (i) Own and have Owned (as defined below), continuously for at least three years as of the date of the Stockholder Notice, a number of shares (as adjusted to account for any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization of shares of stock of the corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors) that represents at least three percent (3%) of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the date of the Stockholder Notice (the “Required Shares”); and (ii) thereafter continue to Own the Required Shares through such annual meeting of stockholders. For purposes of satisfying the ownership requirements of this Section 18(c), a group of not more than 20 stockholders and/or beneficial owners may aggregate the number of shares of stock of the corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors that each group member has individually Owned continuously for at least three years as of the date of the Stockholder Notice if all other requirements and obligations for an Eligible Stockholder set forth in this Section 18 are satisfied by and as to each stockholder or beneficial owner comprising the group of stockholders whose shares are aggregated. No shares may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder, and no stockholder or beneficial owner, alone or together with any of its affiliates, may individually or as a member of a group qualify as or constitute more than one Eligible Stockholder under this Section 18(c). A group of any two or more funds shall be treated as only one stockholder or beneficial owner for this purpose if they are (A) under common management and investment control; (B) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer; or (C) part of a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. For purposes of this Section 18, the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act.

15

(d) (i) For purposes of this Section 18, a stockholder or beneficial owner shall be deemed to “Own” only those issued and outstanding shares of stock of the corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as to which such person possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares, and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares, except that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares (1) sold by such person in any transaction that has not been settled or closed; (2) borrowed by such person for any purposes or purchased by such person pursuant to an agreement to resell; or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such person, whether the instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of issued and outstanding shares of stock of the corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, if the instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect of (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such person’s full right to vote or direct the voting of the shares, and/or (y) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of the shares by such person. The terms “Owned,” “Owning” and other variations of the word “Own,” when used with respect to a stockholder or beneficial owner, have correlative meanings. (ii) A stockholder or beneficial owner “Owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as such person retains both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares, and (B) the full economic interest in the shares. Such person’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which such person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the stockholder. (iii) A stockholder’s or beneficial owner’s Ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which such person has loaned the shares if such person has the power to recall the loaned shares on not more than five business days’ notice and (A) such person recalls the loaned shares within five business days of being notified that its Stockholder Nominee shall be included in the corporation’s proxy materials for the relevant annual meeting; and (B) such person holds the recalled shares through the annual meeting. (iv) For purposes of this Section 18(d), the term “person” includes its affiliates.

16

(e) For purposes of this Section 18, the “Additional Information” referred to in Section 18(a) that the corporation will include in its proxy statement is: (i) the information set forth in the Schedule 14N provided with the Stockholder Notice concerning the Eligible Stockholder and each Stockholder Nominee that is required to be disclosed in the corporation’s proxy statement by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (ii) if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement of the Eligible Stockholder (or, in the case of a group, a written statement of the group), not to exceed 500 words, in support of its Stockholder Nominee(s), which must be provided at the same time as the Stockholder Notice for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy statement for the annual meeting (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 18, the corporation may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement that it, in good faith, believes is untrue in any material respect (or omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading) or would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standard. Nothing in this Section 18 shall limit the corporation’s ability to solicit against and include in its proxy materials its own statements relating to any Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee.

(f) (i) The Stockholder Notice shall set forth all the same information, representations and agreements required of a stockholder making a nomination under Section 1(b) of this Article III, including the information required with respect to (A) any nominee for election as a director, (B) any stockholder giving notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election, and (C) any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person on whose behalf the nomination is made under this Section 18.

17

of constituting an Eligible Stockholder) addressed to the corporation, setting forth the following additional agreements, representations and warranties: (1) it shall provide (x) within five business days after the date of the Stockholder Notice, one or more written statements from the record holder(s) of the Required Shares and from each intermediary through which the Required Shares are or have been held, in each case, during the requisite three-year holding period, specifying the number of shares that the Eligible Stockholder Owns, and has Owned continuously, in compliance with this Section 18, (y) within five business days after the record date for the annual meeting, both the information required under Section 1(b) of this Article III and notification in writing verifying the Eligible Stockholder’s continuous Ownership of the Required Shares, in each case, as of such date, and (z) immediate notice to the corporation if the Eligible Stockholder ceases to own any of the Required Shares prior to the annual meeting; (2) it (x) acquired the Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control at the corporation, and does not presently have this intent, (y) has not nominated and shall not nominate for election to the board of directors at the annual meeting any person other than the Stockholder Nominee(s) being nominated pursuant to this Section 18, (z) has not engaged and shall not engage in, and has not been and shall not be a participant (as defined in Item 4 of Exchange Act Schedule 14A) in, a solicitation within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 14a-1(l), in support of the election of any individual as a director at the annual meeting other than its Stockholder Nominee(s) or any nominee(s) of the board of directors, and (aa) shall not distribute to any stockholder any form of proxy for the annual meeting other than the form distributed by the corporation; and (3) it will (x) assume all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Stockholder’s communications with the stockholders of the corporation or out of the information that the Eligible Stockholder provided to the corporation, (y) indemnify and hold harmless the corporation and each of its directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss or damages in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the corporation or any of its directors, officers or employees arising out of the nomination or solicitation process pursuant to this Section 18, (z) comply with all laws, rules, regulations and listing standards applicable to its nomination or any solicitation in connection with the annual meeting, (aa) file with the SEC any solicitation or other communication by or on behalf of the Eligible Stockholder relating to the corporation’s annual meeting of stockholders, one or more of the corporation’s directors or director nominees or any Stockholder Nominee, regardless of whether the filing is required under Exchange Act Regulation 14A, or whether any exemption from filing is available for the materials under Exchange Act Regulation 14A, and (bb) at the request of the corporation, promptly, but in any event within five

18

business days after such request (or by the day prior to the day of the annual meeting, if earlier), provide to the corporation such additional information as the corporation may reasonably request; and (D) in the case of a nomination by a group, the designation by all group members of one group member that is authorized to act on behalf of all members of the group with respect to the nomination and matters related thereto, including withdrawal of the nomination, and the written agreement, representation and warranty of the Eligible Stockholder that it shall provide, within five business days after the date of the Stockholder Notice, documentation reasonably satisfactory to the corporation demonstrating that the number of stockholders and/or beneficial owners within such group does not exceed 20, including whether a group of funds qualifies as one stockholder or beneficial owner within the meaning of this Section 18.

To be timely, the Stockholder Notice shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day nor earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day before the first anniversary of the date (as stated in the corporation’s proxy materials) the definitive proxy statement was first released to stockholders in connection with the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 60 calendar days after the first anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting, to be timely, the Stockholder Notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the close of business on the 150th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th calendar day prior to the date of such annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the delivery of the Stockholder Notice under this Section 18. The Stockholder Notice shall include, for each Stockholder Nominee, all applicable written and signed representations and agreements required pursuant to Section 1(b) of this Article III. At the request of the corporation, the Stockholder Nominee shall promptly, but in any event within five business days after such request (or by the day prior to the day of the annual meeting, if earlier), provide to the corporation such additional information as the corporation may reasonably request. In the event that any information or communications provided by the Eligible Stockholder or any Stockholder Nominee to the corporation or its stockholders is not, when provided, or thereafter ceases to be, true, correct and complete in all material respects (including omitting a material fact

19

necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading), such Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the secretary of the corporation and provide the information that is required to make such information or communication true, correct, complete and not misleading; it being understood that providing any such notification shall not be deemed to cure any defect or limit the corporation’s right to omit a Stockholder Nominee from its proxy materials as provided in this Section 18. All information provided pursuant to this Section 18(f) shall be deemed part of the Stockholder Notice for purposes of this Section 18.

(g) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 18, the corporation may omit from its proxy materials any Stockholder Nominee, and such nomination shall be disregarded and no vote on such Stockholder Nominee shall occur, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the corporation, if the board of directors in its sole discretion determines: (A) the Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee breached any of its agreements, representations or warranties set forth in the Stockholder Notice or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 18, any of the information in the Stockholder Notice or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 18 was not, when provided, true, correct and complete, or the Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee otherwise failed to comply with its obligations pursuant to these bylaws, including, but not limited to, its obligations under this Section 18; (B) the Stockholder Nominee (1) is not independent under any applicable listing standards, any applicable rules of the SEC and any publicly disclosed standards used by the board of directors in determining and disclosing the independence of the corporation’s directors, (2) does not qualify as independent under the audit committee independence requirements set forth in the rules of the principal U.S. exchange on which shares of stock of the corporation are listed or as a “non-employee director” under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, (3) is or has been, within the past three years, a director or an officer of a competitor, as defined for the purposes of Section 8 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914, as amended, (4) is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) or has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses) within the past 10 years, or (5) is subject to any order of the type specified in Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; (C) the corporation has received a notice (whether or not subsequently withdrawn) that a stockholder intends to nominate any candidate for election to the board of directors pursuant to the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for director in Section 1(b) of this Article III; or (D) the election

20

of the Stockholder Nominee to the board of directors would cause the corporation to violate the certificate of incorporation of the corporation, these bylaws, or any applicable law, rule, regulation or listing standard. (ii) Any Stockholder Nominee (A) who is included in the corporation’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of stockholders but withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting for any reason, including for the failure to comply with any provision of these bylaws, or (B) who does not receive at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the votes cast in favor of such Stockholder Nominee’s election, shall be ineligible to be a Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 18 for the next two annual meetings. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder delivering the Stockholder Notice (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the corporation to present its Stockholder Nominee(s), such nomination(s) shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the election of the Stockholder Nominee(s) may have been received by the corporation.

(h) Without limiting its power and authority to interpret any other provisions of these bylaws, the board of directors (and any other person or body authorized by the board of directors) shall have the power and authority to interpret this Section 18 and to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable to apply this Section 18 to any persons, facts or circumstances, in each case, acting in good faith. This Section 18 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for election as directors in the corporation’s proxy materials.

ARTICLE IV – NOTICES OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS, RECORD DATES AND WAIVER

Section 1. Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, 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 corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 2. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted

21

by the board of directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 calendar days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors so fixes a record date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2 at the adjourned meeting.

Section 3. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 10 calendar days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted. Any person seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall deliver in writing to the secretary of the corporation a notice requesting that a record date be fixed for such purpose. Such notice must contain the information set forth in this Section 3. The board of directors shall have until the end of the tenth day after receipt of such notice to determine in good faith the validity of the notice, and, if appropriate, adopt a resolution fixing the record date for such purpose. If the corporation shall have received a valid notice to fix a record date for such purpose and the board of directors shall have failed to fix a record date for such purpose before the end of the tenth day after receipt of such notice, the record date shall be the day on which the first written consent is delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed by applicable Delaware law; except that, if prior action by the board of directors is required under the provisions of Delaware law, the record date shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

22

Any stockholder’s notice required by this Section 3 shall be valid and effective only if delivered to the secretary of the corporation and only if it sets forth (a) as to any action (other than the nomination of any person for election or reelection as a director of the corporation) that the stockholder proposes to take by consent, a description of such action (and, if such action includes a proposal to amend either the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment), a brief statement of the reasons for such stockholder’s proposal for taking such action, and other information required by Section 3(iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) and (viii) of Article II; and (b) as to the nomination of any person for election or reelection as a director of the corporation that the stockholder proposes to take by consent, the information set forth in Section 1(b)(a) and Section 1(b)(b) of Article III. The corporation may require the stockholder requesting a record date for proposed stockholder action by consent to furnish additional information to the extent it may reasonably be required to determine the validity of the request for a record date.

Section 4. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 calendar days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 5. Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning

23

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 or the board of directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

ARTICLE V – OFFICERS

The compensation of the CFO, the president(s), the vice president(s), the treasurer, the secretary shall be fixed by the board of directors upon the recommendation of such compensation committee.

Section 3. The officers of the corporation shall hold office until their successors shall be duly chosen and qualified, or until death, resignation or removal. Any officer elected by the board of directors may be removed at any time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors. Such removal shall be without prejudice to the contractual rights of such officer, if any, with the corporation. Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the corporation. Unless otherwise specified in the notice of resignation, the acceptance of the resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any resignation is without prejudice to the rights, if any, of the corporation under any contract to which the officer is a party.
