2.2.3. General .

(a) Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws. Except as otherwise provided by law, the restated certificate of incorporation or herein, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in these bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company.

(c) For purposes of these bylaws, no adjournment or postponement or notice of adjournment or postponement of any meeting shall be deemed to constitute a new notice of such meeting for purposes of this Section 2.2, and in order for any notification required to be delivered by a stockholder pursuant to this Section 2.2 to be timely, such notification must be delivered within the periods set forth above with respect to the originally scheduled meeting.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of these bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business made by a stockholder pursuant to these bylaws and compliance with these bylaws shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business.

2.2.4. No Stockholder Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference .

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

3.1. * Number; Qualification; Term of Office . The number of directors constituting the entire board of directors shall not be less than 6 nor more than 15, the exact number of directors to be fixed from time to time only by the determination of a majority of the entire board. The notice of annual meeting of stockholders each year shall include a statement as to the number of directors who will constitute the entire board of directors as so determined.

The directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. The term of office of the initial Class I directors shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 1979; the term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 1980; and the term of office of the initial Class III directors shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 1981; or in each case thereafter when their respective successors are elected and have qualified or upon their earlier death, resignation or removal. At each annual election held after classification and the initial election of directors according to classes, the directors chosen to succeed those whose terms then expire shall be identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and shall be elected for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or in each case thereafter when their respective successors are elected and have qualified or upon their earlier death, resignation or removal. If the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease in directors shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain all classes as nearly equal in number as possible and any individual director elected to any class shall hold office for a term which shall coincide with the term of such class.

*Interpretative note: For purposes of coordination with the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation, the above Section 3.1 represents the section 5.1 of Article 5 of the Company’s bylaws referenced in Article SIXTH of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation.

3.2. Election . Except as hereinafter provided for the filling of vacancies and newly created directorships, at each meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors, the directors shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election at any meeting for the election at which a quorum is present; provided, however , that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected as of the date that is 10 days prior to the date that the Company first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders, or any time thereafter, then the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any such meeting. For purposes of this Section 3.2 a majority of the votes cast means that the number of votes cast “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as a vote cast either “for” or “against” that director’s election). The Company’s corporate governance principles have established procedures with respect to the resignation of any director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election.

If the board of directors accepts a director’s resignation pursuant to the Company’s corporate governance principles, or if a nominee for director is not elected and the nominee is not an incumbent director, then the board of directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.5 of these bylaws.

3.3.4. Quorum . A majority of all the directors in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting.

3.3.5. Voting . Except as otherwise provided herein, in the restated certificate of incorporation or by law, the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the board of directors.

3.3.6. Committees . The board of directors may, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more directors and such alternate members (also directors) as may be designated by the board. Unless otherwise provided herein, in the absence or disqualification of any member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another director to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the restated certificate of incorporation or by law, any such committee shall have and may exercise the powers of the full board of directors to the extent provided in the resolution of the board directing the committee, except that no such committee shall be empowered to act on behalf of the board of directors (i) to fix the number of directors to constitute the full board pursuant to Section 3.1 of these bylaws, (ii) approve any transaction described in Article FIFTH of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation pursuant to paragraph (2) thereof, (iii) to remove any director pursuant to Article SEVENTH of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation, or (iv) to amend these bylaws.

3.4. Removal of Directors . Except as otherwise provided by law or the restated certificate of incorporation, any director may be removed at any time, but only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors at any meeting of such stockholders, including meetings called expressly for that purpose, and at which a quorum of stockholders is present; and the vacancy in the board caused by any such removal may be filled by the board of directors in the manner provided in Section 3.5 of this Article III.

3.5. * Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies . Newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors becoming effective otherwise than at a meeting of stockholders and vacancies occurring in the board for any reason may be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, at any meeting of the board. Newly created directorships shall be assigned by the board to one of the classes described in Section 3.1. The person so elected to fill such directorship shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which such directorship has been assigned and until such person’s succesor shall be duly elected and qualified or until such person’s earlier death, resignation or removal. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term of the class to which he has been elected and until his successor shall be duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal.

*Interpretative note: For purposes of coordination with the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation, the above Section 3.5 represents the section 5.3 of Article 5 of the Company’s bylaws referenced in Article SIXTH of the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION

5.1. Nature of Indemnity . The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (a “Proceeding”), whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, provided that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The indemnification provided in this Article V could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability. In the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor (1) the indemnification of a director or officer shall be limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, and (2) no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.5 of these bylaws, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify a director or officer of the Company in respect of a Proceeding (or part thereof) instituted by such Director or officer, unless such Proceeding (or part thereof) has been authorized by the board of directors.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

5.2. Successful Defense . To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 5.1 of these bylaws or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.

5.3. Determination that Indemnification is Proper . Any indemnification of a present or former director or officer of the Company under Section 5.1 of these bylaws (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company unless a determination is made that indemnification of the Director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.1 of these bylaws. Any such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the Directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such Directors, or if such Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

5.4. Advance Payment of Expenses . The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by a person of the type entitled to be indemnified under Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such person in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such person of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under this Article V and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article V or otherwise. The Board of Directors may authorize the Company’s counsel to represent such present or former Director or officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Company is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.

5.5. Procedure for Indemnification of Directors and Officers . Any indemnification of a director or officer of the Company under Sections 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 of these bylaws, or advance of costs, charges and expenses to a director or officer under Section 5.4 of these bylaws, shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty days, upon the written request of such person. If a determination by the Company that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article is required, and the Company fails to respond within sixty days to a written request for indemnity, the Company shall be deemed to have approved such request. If the Company denies a written request for indemnity or advancement of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article shall be enforceable by the Director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Company. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 5.4 of these bylaws where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by or tendered to the Company) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.1 of these bylaws, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.1 of these bylaws, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to such action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

5.6. Survival; Preservation of Other Rights . The foregoing indemnification provisions shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while these provisions are in effect and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any right or obligation then existing with respect to any state of facts then or previously existing or any action, suit or proceeding previously or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts. Such a “contract right” may not be modified retroactively without the consent of such director or officer.
