Any such stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall also include or be accompanied by, with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by the third paragraph of this Section (B)(2). The Corporation may require any proposed

nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.

(4)          To be timely, a stockholder’s notice pursuant to the first paragraph of Section (B)(2) (other than a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination, which must be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation within the time periods provided in Section (E) of this Article V) or the first paragraph of Section (B)(3) of this Article V shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 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 day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or, if less than 100

In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, postponement or deferral of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of timely notice as described above. Notwithstanding anything in the first sentence of this paragraph to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no prior notice or public announcement by the Corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice to nominate a director required by this Article V (other than a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination, which must be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation within the time periods provided in Section (E) of this Article V) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of such meeting was mailed to stockholders of the Corporation or the day on which such public announcement was made.

(5)          A stockholder providing (a) notice of any director nomination proposed to be made at a meeting (including any Notice of Proxy Access Nomination) or (b) notice of business proposed to be brought before a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Article V shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date for the meeting) or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of 10 business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). In addition, a stockholder providing a notice described in clause (a) or (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall update and supplement such notice, and deliver such update and supplement to the principal executive offices of the Corporation, promptly following the occurrence of any event that materially changes the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Article V.

C.            Special Meetings of Stockholders . Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (a) by or at the direction of the

Board of Directors or (b) if but only if the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Article V and on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Article V, including Section (B)(2) hereof. Clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election as a director of the Corporation at a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be), for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by Section (B)(2) of this Article V shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such special meeting; provided, however, that if less than 100 days’ prior notice or public announcement of the scheduled meeting date and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting is given or made, notice by such stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of such meeting was mailed to stockholders of the Corporation or the day on which such public announcement was made. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment, postponement or deferral of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of timely notice as described above. Nominations pursuant to Section (E) of this Article V may not be made in connection with any special meeting of the stockholders.

D.           General .

(1)          Subject to such rights of holders of shares of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock of the Corporation to elect one or more directors of the Corporation under circumstances as shall be provided by or pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article V 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 this Article V. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or proposed nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Article V and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Article V, to so declare, and such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded.

(2)          For purposes of this Article V, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed or furnished by the

Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or posted on the Corporation’s website at www.cabotog.com.

(3)           For purposes of this Article V, a “Derivative Instrument” shall include any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the price, value or volatility of any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation or any derivative or synthetic arrangement having characteristics of a long position in any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise.

(4)           For purposes of this Article V, a person shall be deemed to have a short interest in a security if such person directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has the opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any decrease in the value of the subject security.

(5)           Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Article V. Nothing in this Article V shall be deemed to affect any rights (a) of the holders of any series of preferred stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or (b) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

E.           Proxy Access for Director Nominations

(1)           Whenever the Board of Directors solicits proxies with respect to the election of directors at an annual meeting of the stockholders, subject to the provisions of this Section (E), the Corporation shall include in its proxy statement for such annual meeting, in addition to any persons nominated for election by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, the name, together with the Required Information, of any person or persons, as applicable, nominated for election (the “Stockholder Nominee(s)”) to the Board of Directors by a stockholder or group of not more than 10 stockholders that satisfies the requirements of Section (E)(3) of this Article V (the “Eligible Stockholder”), and who expressly elects at the time of providing the notice required by this Section (E) (the “Notice of Proxy Access Nomination”) to have its nominee or nominees, as applicable, included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section (E). For purposes of this Section (E), the “Required Information” that the Corporation will include in its proxy statement is the information provided to the Secretary concerning the Stockholder Nominee(s) and the Eligible Stockholder that is required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s proxy statement by Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and, if the Eligible Stockholder so elects, a written statement, not to exceed 500 words, in support of the candidacy of the Stockholder Nominee(s) (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section (E), the Corporation may omit from its proxy

materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law or regulation.

(2)           To be timely for purposes of this Section (E), the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 120th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date (as specified in the Corporation’s proxy materials for its immediately preceding annual meeting of shareholders) on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for its immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. In no event will an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination as provided above.

(3)           The maximum number of Stockholder Nominees nominated by all Eligible Stockholders that will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders shall not exceed 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section (E) (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”), or if such amount is not a whole number, the largest whole number below 20%. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the board after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the board in connection therewith, the maximum number of Stockholder Nominees included in the Corporation’s proxy materials shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced. Any individual nominated by an Eligible Stockholder for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section (E) whom the Board of Directors decides to nominate as a nominee for Director shall be counted as one of the Stockholder Nominees for purposes of determining when the maximum number of Stockholder Nominees provided for in this Section (E) has been reached. Any Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section (E) shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy statement in the event that the total number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section (E) exceeds the maximum number of nominees provided for in this Section (E). In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section (E) exceeds the maximum number of nominees provided for in this Section (E), the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section (E) from each Eligible Stockholder will be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order of the number (largest to smallest) of shares of common stock of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as owned in its respective Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Corporation. If the maximum number is not reached after the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section (E) from each Eligible Stockholder has been selected, this process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number is reached.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section (E), if the Corporation receives notice pursuant to Section (B) of this Article V that any stockholder intends to nominate for election at such meeting one or more persons, no Stockholder Nominees will be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting pursuant to this Section (E).

(4)          For purposes of this Section (E), an Eligible Stockholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation as to which the stockholder possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit from and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (x) sold by such stockholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (y) borrowed by such stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such stockholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding common stock of the Corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such stockholder’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss realized or realizable from maintaining the full economic ownership of such shares by such stockholder or affiliate. For purposes of this Section (E), a shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time by the stockholder. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the common stock of the Corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. For purposes of this Section (E), the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under the general rules and regulations under the Exchange Act.

(5)           In order to make a nomination pursuant to this Section (E), an Eligible Stockholder must have owned the Required Ownership Percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding common stock (the “Required Shares”) continuously for the Minimum Holding Period as of both the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is delivered to or mailed to and received by the Secretary in accordance with this Section (E) and the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and must continue to own the Required Shares through the meeting date.

ARTICLE VI

Quorum and Action of Stockholders

At any meeting of the stockholders, a quorum for the election of any director or for the consideration of any question shall consist of a majority in interest of all stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote for the election of such director or upon such question, respectively, except in any case where a larger quorum is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws. Stock owned by the Corporation, if any, shall not be deemed outstanding for this purpose. In any case, any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

Each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of the votes cast at a meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the stock of the Corporation present at any meeting for which the number of

candidates for election as directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, with the determination thereof being made by the Secretary of the Corporation as of the tenth day preceding the date the Corporation first mails or delivers its notice of meeting for such meeting to stockholders. For purposes of this paragraph, a majority of votes cast shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds the number of shares voted “against” such director’s election. Votes cast shall exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to establish procedures with respect to the resignation of continuing directors who are not reelected as provided above.

When a quorum for the consideration of a question is present at any meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Corporation which is present at the meeting shall decide the quorum, except in any case where a larger vote is required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these Bylaws.

ARTICLE VII

Proxies and Voting

Except as otherwise may be provided in the Certificate of Incorporation and subject to the provisions of Article XXXI of these Bylaws, each stockholder at every meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock held by such stockholder, but no proxy shall be voted after six months from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period; and except where the transfer books of the Corporation shall have been closed or a date shall have been fixed as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote, as provided in Article XXXI, no share of stock shall be voted at any election for directors which has been transferred on the books of the Corporation within the twenty days preceding such election of directors. Shares of the capital stock of the Corporation belonging to the Corporation shall not be voted upon directly or indirectly.

Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held, or to give any consent permitted by law, and persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, or to give any consent permitted by law, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation he or she shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee or his or her proxy may represent said stock and vote thereon or give any such consent.

The secretary shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at least ten days before every election of directors, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said election, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during ordinary business hours, at the place where such election meeting is to be held, or such other place as may be specified in the notice of the meeting, within the city, town or village where the election meeting is to be held,

for said ten days, and shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the election meeting for the duration of the election meeting, and be subject to the inspection of any stockholder who may be present. The original or duplicate stock ledger shall conclusively list and identify the stockholders entitled to examine such list or to vote in person or by proxy at such election.

ARTICLE VIII

Action by Written Consent

A.        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 by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent shall, by written notice to the Secretary, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date. The Board of Directors shall promptly, but in all events within 10 days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within 10 days of the date on which such a request is received, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or to any officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

B.        Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the record date established in accordance with Section (A) of this Article VIII, a written consent or consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take such action are delivered to the corporation in the manner prescribed in Section (A) of this Article VIII.

C.        In the event of the delivery, in the manner provided by this Article VIII, to the corporation of the requisite written consent or consents to take corporate action and/or any related revocation or revocations, the corporation shall engage nationally recognized independent inspectors of elections for the purpose of promptly performing a ministerial review of the validity of the consents and revocations. For the purpose of permitting a prompt ministerial review by the independent inspectors, no action by written consent

without a meeting shall be effective until the earlier of (i) five business days following delivery to the corporation of consents signed by the holders of the requisite minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action, which delivery shall be accompanied by a certification by the stockholder of record (or his or her designee) who delivered, in accordance with Section (A) above, the written notice to the Secretary requesting the Board of Directors to fix a record date or (ii) such date as the independent inspectors certify to the corporation that the consents delivered to the corporation in accordance with this Article represent at least the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take the corporate action. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way be construed to suggest or imply that the Board of Directors or any stockholder shall not be entitled to contest the validity of any consent or revocation thereof, whether during or after such five business day period, or to take any other action (including, without limitation, the commencement, prosecution or defense of any litigation with respect thereto).

ARTICLE IX

Board of Directors

The number of directors which constitute the whole board of directors shall be neither less than three nor more than 20.

The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided elsewhere in these Bylaws, and each director elected shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified, or until he or she sooner dies, resigns or is removed or replaced. Directors need not be stockholders. Newly-created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors voted by the board of directors between annual meetings may be filled, at the discretion of the board, by an election at a meeting of stockholders held for that purpose, or by an election at a meeting of the board of directors, by vote of a majority of the directors then in office though less than a quorum, and each director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders. No decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent director.

At each annual meeting of stockholders, all directors shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been elected and shall qualify.

One-half of the members of each such committee then in office, but in no case less than two members, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and upon such majority consent to adjourn, the meeting may be adjourned without further notice.

A waiver of notice in writing, signed by a director entitled to such notice shall be deemed to satisfy such notice requirement whether such written waiver of notice were signed before or after the time of the meeting. In any case it shall be deemed sufficient notice to a director to send notice addressed to him or her at his or her usual or last known business or residence address by postage paid mail at least forty-eight hours before the meeting, or by telegram, telex or facsimile transmission at least twenty-four hours before the meeting, or to give notice to him or her in person at least twenty-four hours before the meeting either by telephone, or by handing him or her a written notice.

The stockholders may remove any director from office, by vote of a majority in interest of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote for such removal, at any meeting called for that purpose. The board of directors may at any time, by vote of a majority of the directors then in office, remove from office the chairman of the board, the president, any executive vice president, any vice president, the chief financial officer, the treasurer, the secretary, the general counsel or the controller at a special meeting called for that purpose. Any other officer, agent or employee may be removed from office, agency or employment by (i) vote of the board of directors at any meeting thereof, or (ii) in the case of any officer, agent or employee not elected to his or her position by the board of directors, by any committee or officer upon whom such power may be conferred by the board of directors.

No director or officer resigning, and (except where a right to receive compensation for a definite future period shall be expressly provided in a written agreement with the Corporation duly approved by the board of directors) no director or officer being removed shall have any right to any compensation as such director or officer for any period following his or her resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal, whether his or her compensation be by the month or by the year or otherwise.

ARTICLE XXVII

Vacancies

If the office of any director becomes vacant, by reason of death, resignation or removal, a successor may be elected by the board of directors by vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office whether or not the remaining directors constitute a quorum. If the office of any officer becomes vacant, by reason of death, resignation,

removal or disqualification, a successor may be elected or appointed by the board of directors by vote of a majority of the directors present and voting. Each such successor shall hold office for the unexpired terms, and until his or her successor shall be elected or appointed and qualified, or until he or she sooner dies, resigns, is removed or replaced or becomes disqualified. The board of directors shall have and may exercise all its powers notwithstanding the existence of one or more vacancies in its number as fixed by the board of directors, subject to any requirements of law or of these Bylaws as to the number of directors required for a quorum or for any vote, resolution or other action.

ARTICLE XXVIII

Waiver of Notice

Whenever any notice is required to be given by law or under the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a written waiver of notice, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice shall be deemed to satisfy such notice requirement, whether such waiver was signed and delivered before or after the meeting or other event for which notice is waived.

ARTICLE XXIX

Certificates of Stock

Shares of capital stock of the Corporation may be certificated or uncertificated, as permitted by applicable law. Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled, upon written request, to have a certificate, signed in the name of the Corporation, by the chairman of the board, the president or a vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by him or her in the Corporation; provided, however, that where any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, other than the Corporation or its employee, or by a registrar, other than the Corporation or its employee, any other signature on such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved, stamped or printed. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, and any such issue and delivery shall be regarded as an adoption by the Corporation of such certificate or certificates. Any certificates of stock that may be used shall be in such form as shall, in conformity to law, be prescribed from time to time by the board of directors or an officer of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XXX

Transfer of Shares of Stock

Subject to applicable restrictions upon transfer, if any, (1) title to a certificate of stock and to the shares represented thereby shall be transferred only by delivery of the certificate properly endorsed, or by delivery of the certificate accompanied by a written assignment of the same, or a written power of attorney to sell, assign or transfer the same or the shares represented thereby, properly executed by the holder thereof, and (2) title to uncertificated shares of stock shall be transferred only upon instructions properly executed by the holder thereof. The person registered on the books of the Corporation as the owner of shares shall have the exclusive right to receive dividends thereon and, except as provided in Article VII with respect to stock which has been pledged, to vote thereon as such owner or to give any consent permitted by law, and shall be held liable for such calls and assessments, if any, as may lawfully be made thereon, and except only as may be required by law, may in all respects be treated by the Corporation as the exclusive owner thereof. It shall be the duty of each stockholder to notify the Corporation of his or her post office or mailing address and to furnish to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may by law be required to obtain.

ARTICLE XXXI

Transfer Books: Record Date

The board of directors shall have power to close the stock transfer books of the Corporation for a period not exceeding sixty days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders or the date for payment of any dividend or the date for the allotment of rights or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect or for a period of not exceeding sixty days in connection with obtaining the consent of stockholders for any purpose; provided, however, that in lieu of closing the stock transfer books as aforesaid, the board of directors may fix in advance a date, not exceeding sixty days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or any other of the above-mentioned events, or a date in connection with obtaining such consent, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect to any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to give such consent, and in such case such stockholders and only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting and any adjournment thereof, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, or to give such consent, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

ARTICLE XXXII

Loss of Certificates

In the case of the alleged loss or destruction or the mutilation of a certificate of stock, a duplicate certificate may be issued in place thereof upon such terms in conformity with law as the board of directors may prescribe; provided, however, that if such shares are no longer certificated, a new certificate shall be issued only upon a written request as contemplated by Article XXIX.

ARTICLE XXXIII

Seal

The corporate seal of the Corporation shall, subject to alteration by the board of directors, consist of a flat-faced circular die with the word “Delaware”, together with the name of the Corporation and the year of its organization, cut or engraved thereon. The corporate seal of the Corporation may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

ARTICLE XXXIV

Execution of Papers

Unless the board of directors generally or in particular cases authorizes the execution thereof in some other manner, all deeds, leases, transfers, sales of securities, contracts, proxies, bonds, notes, checks, drafts and other obligations, agreements and undertakings made, accepted or endorsed by the Corporation, shall be signed by the chairman of the board, the president or by one of the vice presidents, and, if such papers require a seal, the seal of the Corporation shall be affixed thereto and attested by the secretary or an assistant secretary.

ARTICLE XXXV

Fiscal Year

Except as from time to time otherwise provided by the board of directors, the fiscal year of the Corporation shall commence on the first day of January of each year, commencing January 1, 1991.

ARTICLE XXXVI

Dividends

Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the Certificate of

Incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside, out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose as the directors shall think conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

ARTICLE XXXVII

Respecting Certain Contracts

The directors of the Corporation are likely to be connected with other corporations, partnerships, associations or firms with which from time to time this Corporation may have business dealings. No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or firm and no act of the Corporation shall be affected by the fact that directors of this Corporation are pecuniarily or otherwise interested in, or are directors, members or officers of such other corporation, partnership, association or firm. Any director individually, or any firm of which such director may be a member, may be a party to or may be pecuniarily or otherwise interested in any contract or transaction of the Corporation, provided that the fact that he or she or such firm is so interested shall be disclosed or shall have been known to the board of directors or a majority thereof that approves such contract or transaction. Every contract, act or transaction which at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose, among others, of considering such contract, act or transaction, shall be authorized, approved or ratified by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares in the capital stock of the Corporation present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum of stockholders be there present or represented by proxy) shall be as valid and binding upon the Corporation and upon all its stockholders as though such a contract, act or transaction had been expressly authorized, approved and ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

ARTICLE XXXVIII

Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

The Corporation 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, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (and whether or not by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or is or was serving as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan, fund or program sponsored by the Corporation or such other company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the extent and under the

circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as amended from time to time. Such indemnification (unless ordered by a court) shall be made as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of directors by vote of a majority of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

ARTICLE XXXIX

Amendments

These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed by (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of the Corporation or (ii) the affirmative vote of the majority of the directors then holding office at any annual, regular or special stockholders or directors meeting, called for that purpose, the notice of which shall specify the subject matter of the proposed alteration, amendment or repeal and the articles to be affected thereby. Any bylaw, whether made, altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders or directors, may be repealed, amended, further amended or reinstated, as the case may be, by either the stockholders or the directors as aforesaid.
