The Corporation is being incorporated in connection with the conversion of Workiva, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “ LLC ”), to the Corporation (the “ Conversion ”) pursuant to Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and Section 265 of the General Corporation Law, and this Certificate of Incorporation is being filed simultaneously with the Certificate of Conversion to Corporation (the “Certificate of Conversion”).
ARTICLE V: AUTHORIZED STOCK

The number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the




affirmative vote of the holders of capital stock representing a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as applicable, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law. Upon the filing and effectiveness of the Certificate of Conversion and this Certificate of Incorporation, the limited liability company interests in the LLC outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion were converted, without any action required on the part of the Corporation or the former holders of such limited liability company interests, into that number of issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, determined pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan of Conversion, dated December 10, 2014, in respect of the Conversion, a copy of which shall be on file with the books and records of the Corporation.
2.     Designation of Additional Shares .
2.1    The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware, to provide by resolution or resolutions from time to time for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series, and, by filing a certificate of designation pursuant to the General Corporation Law (“ Certificate of Designation ”), to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each such series, and, unless otherwise provided in any such resolution or resolutions, to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of such class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may also be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or any series thereof, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the terms of this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation).
2.2    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation), the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be senior to, junior to or pari passu with any other series of Preferred Stock to the extent permitted by law.

Unless otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation) or pursuant to the General Corporation Law.
3.3      Dividend Rights . Subject to the preferential dividend or other rights of any holders of Preferred Stock, dividends and distributions may be declared by the Board of Directors and paid on or made in respect of the Common Stock from funds lawfully available therefor as and when determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

3.4      Subdivisions, Combinations or Reclassifications . If the Corporation in any manner subdivides, combines, or reclassifies the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the outstanding shares of the other such class shall, concurrently therewith,

3


be subdivided, combined, or reclassified in the same proportion and manner such that the same proportionate equity ownership between the holders of outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification is preserved, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, each voting separately as a class.

(f)     Immediate Effect . Any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to shares of Class A Common Stock resulting from a Transfer (other than a Qualified Transfer) of shares of Class B Common Stock shall be deemed to have been effected at the time that such Transfer of such shares shall have occurred. Upon any conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock, all rights of the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock shall cease and the person or persons in whose names or names the certificate or certificates, if any, representing the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock that are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock shall be retired and may not be reissued.
(g)     Effect of Conversion on Payment of Dividends . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if the date on which any share of Class B Common Stock is converted into Class A Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V, Section 3.8 occurs after the record date for the determination of the holders of Class B Common Stock entitled to receive any dividend or distribution to be paid to on the shares of Class B Common Stock, the holder of such shares of Class B Common Stock as of such record date will be entitled to receive such dividend or distribution on such payment date; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation, to the extent that any such dividend or distribution is payable in shares of Class B Common Stock or securities (including options, warrants or other rights), convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock, such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to have been declared, and shall be payable in, shares of Class A Common Stock or, if applicable, securities (including options, warrants or other rights), convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class A Common Stock and no shares of Class B Common Stock or securities (including options, warrants or other rights), convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Class B Common Stock shall be issued in payment thereof.
3.9      No Further Issuances of Class B Common Stock . Except for the issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any securities (including warrants, options or other rights) outstanding as of the time of the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation , or an issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock in connection with a stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or similar transaction in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the Corporation shall not at any time after the filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock.
3.10     Reservation of Stock . The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as will from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock.

7


3.11     Protective Provisions . So long as any shares of Class B Common Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation will not, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, amend, alter, repeal or waive Section 3 of this ARTICLE V (or adopt any provision inconsistent therewith), without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, voting as a separate class, in addition to any other vote required by the General Corporation Law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation’s Bylaws, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “ Bylaws ”).
4.     Lock-Up .
4.1    Until and including the date that is 180 days after the date of the final prospectus (the “ Restricted Period ”) relating to the Corporation’s initial public offering of equity securities (the “ Initial Public Offering ”), any Transfer or pledge of Restricted Securities shall be void, other than Permitted Transfers.

ARTICLE VI: MATTERS RELATING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
1.     Director Powers . Except as otherwise provided by this Certificate of Incorporation or the General Corporation Law, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.
2.     Number of Directors . The total number of authorized directors constituting the Board of Directors shall initially be two. Thereafter, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the Board of Directors shall consist of two or more directors, with the total number of authorized directors constituting the Board of Directors (the “ Whole Board ”) to be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.
3.     Classified Board . Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the directors shall be divided into three classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable, hereby designated as Class I, Class II and

9


Class III. The initial assignment of members of the Board of Directors to each such class shall be made by the Board of Directors. The initial term of office of the Class I directors will expire at the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Corporation’s Initial Public Offering; the initial term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the Corporation’s second annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Initial Public Offering; and the initial term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the Corporation’s third annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Initial Public Offering. At each annual meeting of stockholders following the closing of the Initial Public Offering, directors elected to succeed those directors of the class whose terms then expire will be elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE VI, each director shall serve until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, retirement or disqualification. If the number of directors divided into classes is hereafter changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable; provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
4.     Removal; Vacancies . Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, any director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the Corporation only for cause.

3.      Vested Rights . Neither any amendment nor repeal of this ARTICLE VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this ARTICLE VII, shall eliminate, adversely affect or reduce the effect of this ARTICLE VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this ARTICLE VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of such an inconsistent provision.

Business transacted at special meetings of stockholders will be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.
3.      Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals . Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors of the Corporation and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation will be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

In addition to any other vote otherwise required by law or this Certificate of Incorporation, from and after the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by the stockholders will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two thirds (66 2 / 3 %) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE XI: AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
To the fullest extent permitted by law, if any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation becomes or is declared on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Certificate of Incorporation, and the court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Certificate of Incorporation with a valid and enforceable provision

12


that most accurately reflects the Corporation’s intent, in order to achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Certificate of Incorporation shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
The Corporation reserves the right to amend or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware and all rights conferred upon stockholders are granted subject to this reservation; provided, however, that, from and after the closing of the Initial Public Offering notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or any provision of the General Corporation Law that might otherwise permit a lesser vote or no vote, but in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of the capital stock of the Corporation required by the General Corporation Law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, any amendment to or repeal of this ARTICLE XI or ARTICLE VI, ARTICLE VII, ARTICLE VIII, ARTICLE IX or ARTICLE X of this Certificate of Incorporation (or the adoption of any provision inconsistent therewith) shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two thirds (66 2 / 3 %) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

WORKIVA INC.

BYLAWS


As Adopted December 10, 2014

ARTICLE I: STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1.1      Place of Meeting; Meetings by Remote Communication . Meetings of stockholders of Workiva Inc. (the “ Corporation ”) shall be held at such place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, as may be designated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “ Board of Directors ”). The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ General Corporation Law ”) and Section 1.13 of these Bylaws. The Board of Directors may postpone, adjourn, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled meeting of stockholders.
Section 1.2      Annual Meeting . The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date, time and place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected to succeed those whose terms expire and any other proper business may be transacted.
Section 1.3      Special Meeting . Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (the “ Whole Board ”), the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (or, if a Chief Executive Officer is not then currently in office, the President), and may not be called by any other person or persons.
Section 1.4      Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings . Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a timely notice of the meeting, given in writing or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given in the manner provided in Section 232 of the General Corporation Law, shall be mailed or transmitted electronically by the Corporation to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place, if any, date, and hour of the meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

1





Section 1.5      Manner of Giving Notice; Affidavit of Notice . Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, shall be deemed given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if given by electronic transmission, shall be deemed given when provided in accordance with Section 232 of the DGCL. An affidavit of the Secretary or an assistant Secretary or of the transfer 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 1.6      Quorum . The holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or classes or series of capital stock is required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of such class or classes or series of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on such matter, present in person, present by means of remote communication in a manner, if any, authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on such matter. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairman of the meeting or (b) the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereat shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. Once a quorum is established at a meeting, it shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders.
Section 1.7      Adjournments . When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive notice of the adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
Section 1.8      Conduct of Business . Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board or by such other person as the Board of Directors may designate. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it deems appropriate.

2





Section 1.9      Voting . When a quorum is present at any meeting, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Unless otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, or any other applicable rules or regulations, including the applicable rules or regulations of any stock exchange upon which the Corporation’s securities are listed, every matter (other than the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for or against such matter; and, for the avoidance of doubt, neither abstentions nor broker non-votes will be counted as votes cast for or against such matter.
Section 1.10      Proxies . Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by a proxy given in any manner provided by law, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date.
Section 1.11      Record Date .
(a)      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 by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a 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 or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice 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 herewith at the adjourned meeting.
(b)      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 entitled

3





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 not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such 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.
(c)      Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express 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 record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
Section 1.12      Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals .
(a)      Annual Meetings of Stockholders; Timely Notice . At a meeting of the stockholders, only such nominations of persons for the election of directors and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations or such other business must be: (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record of the Corporation at the time such notice of meeting is delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. In addition, any proposal of business (other than the nomination of persons for election to the Board of Directors) must be a proper matter for stockholder action. For business (including, but not limited to, director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder or stockholders of record intending to propose the business (the “ Proposing Stockholder ”) must have given timely notice thereof pursuant to this Section 1.12(a) or Section 1.12(c) below, as applicable, in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation even if such matter is already the subject of any notice to the stockholders or public disclosure from the Board of Directors. To be timely, a Proposing Stockholder’s written notice shall set forth all information required under Section 1.12(b) and shall be delivered to the Secretary

4





at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting (which date shall, for purposes of the Corporation’s first annual meeting of stockholders after its shares of Common Stock are first publicly traded, be deemed to have occurred on June 4, 2014); provided , however , that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days from the first anniversary of the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting date, written notice by a Proposing Stockholder in order to be timely must be received no earlier than the 120th day before the date of such annual meeting and not later than the later of the 90th day before the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the first public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made. In no event shall the public disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of stockholder’s notice as described above.
(b)      Stockholder Nominations . For the nomination of any person or persons for election to the Board of Directors, a Proposing Stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of each nominee proposed in such notice, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of each such nominee, (iii) the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by each such nominee (if any), (iv) such other information concerning each such nominee as would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee as a director in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or that is otherwise required to be disclosed, under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (v) the consent of the nominee to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and (vi) as to the Proposing Stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made: (A) the name and address of the Proposing Stockholder as they appear on the Corporation's books and of such beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, (B) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned by the Proposing Stockholder (beneficially and of record) and owned by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, as of the date of the Proposing Stockholder's notice, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of the class and number of such shares owned of record and beneficially as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed, (C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to such nomination between or among the Proposing Stockholder and any of its affiliates or associates, and any others (including their names) acting in concert with any of the foregoing, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed, (D) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as

5





of the date of the Proposing Stockholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, the Proposing Stockholder or any of its affiliates or associates, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of the Proposing Stockholder or any of its affiliates or associates with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation, and a representation that the Proposing Stockholder will notify the Corporation in writing of any such agreement, arrangement or understanding in effect as of the record date for the meeting promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly disclosed, (E) a representation that the Proposing Stockholder is a holder of record of shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice, (F) a representation whether the Proposing Stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group that intends to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve the nomination and/or otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of the nomination, and (G) any other information relating to the Proposing Stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved) or that is otherwise required to be disclosed, under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require 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. Notwithstanding anything in the Section 1.12(a) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors at the annual meeting is increased effective after the time period for which nominations would otherwise be due under Section 1.12(a) and there is no public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting, the Proposing Stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.12 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, 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 tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(c)      Other Stockholder Proposals .

6





required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal and pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (iii) the information required by Section 1.12(b)(vi) above, provided that all references to a nomination shall be deemed to refer to such other business.
(d)      Proxy Rules . The foregoing notice requirements of Section 1.12(c) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder with respect to business other than a nomination if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting.
(e)      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. 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 (x) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof or (y) provided that 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 the notice provided for in this Section 1.12 is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and upon such election and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. 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 entitled to vote in such election of directors 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 this Section 1.12 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such special meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the date of public disclosure of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public disclosure of an adjournment or postponement of a special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any notice time period).
(f)      Effect of Noncompliance . Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary: (i) no nominations shall be made or business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12, and (ii) unless otherwise required by law, if (x) a Proposing Stockholder intending to propose business or make nominations at an annual meeting pursuant to this Section 1.12 does not provide the information required under this Section 1.12 to the Corporation promptly following the later of the record date or the date notice of the record date is first publicly announced, or (y) the Proposing Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Proposing

7





Stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present the proposed business or nominations, such business or nominations shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business or nominations may have been received by the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty (I) to determine whether a 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 Section 1.12 and (II) if any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 1.12, to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted.
(g)      General . For purposes of this Section 1.12, to be considered a qualified representative of the Proposing Stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Proposing Stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such Proposing Stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such Proposing Stockholder to act for such Proposing Stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. For purposes of this Section 1.12, “ public announcement ” shall include disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.2      Indemnification of Others . The Corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law, to indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or any other person who is or was

14





serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Section 5.3      Payment of Expenses in Advance . Expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 5.1 or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 5.2 following authorization thereof by the Board of Directors shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article V.
Section 5.4      Indemnity Not Exclusive . The indemnification provided by this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under the General Corporation Law, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided by this Article V may be limited by any exclusions or limitations in coverage that are made in any indemnification agreement or agreement containing similar terms between the indemnified party and the Corporation. Such exclusions or limitations shall not be inferred, but must be set forth explicitly in the language of such agreement, in such a way that it is clear that they apply not only to the agreement but to these Bylaws or generally to such indemnification obligations as may be in place.
Section 5.5      Insurance . The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or, not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the General Corporation Law. The failure of the Corporation to provide insurance, or the denial of coverage by the applicable insurance company, shall not limit the Corporation’s obligations under Sections 5.1 through 5.4 of these Bylaws.
Section 5.6      Conflicts . No indemnification shall be made under this Article V, except where such indemnification is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:
(a)      That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or
(b)      That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

15





Section 5.7      Right to Bring Suit . If (i) a claim under Section 5.1 (or, in the case where indemnification shall have been authorized thereunder, Section 5.2) is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, or (ii) a claim under Section 5.3 is not paid in full within twenty (20) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the person entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses may at any time thereafter (but not before) bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, such person shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (x) any suit brought by such person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by such person to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (y) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication provided that, such person has not met any applicable standard of conduct necessary to demonstrate entitlement to indemnification. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of such person is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary to demonstrate entitlement to indemnification hereunder, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that such person has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by such person, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by any such person to enforce a right of indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the person seeking such right is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article V or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section 5.8      Amendment of Article V . Any amendment, repeal or modification of this Article V shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

16





agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.
Section 6.3      Stock Certificates .

Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate representing the number of shares registered signed by or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, any Vice Chairman of the Board, the President or Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
Section 6.4      Lost Certificates . Except as provided in this Section 6.4, no new certificates or uncertificated shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time.

Section 6.8      Severability . If any provision of these Bylaws will be held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, then such provision will nonetheless be enforced to the maximum extent possible consistent with such holding and the remaining provisions of these Bylaws (including without limitation, all portions of any section of these Bylaws containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal, unenforceable

17





or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation, that are not themselves invalid, illegal, unenforceable or in conflict with the Certificate of Incorporation) will remain in full force and effect.
Section 6.9      Waiver of Notice . Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law or of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, 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 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 directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.
Section 6.10      Voting of Securities . Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise designate, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the Treasurer may waive notice, vote, consent, or appoint any person or persons to waive notice, vote or consent, on behalf of the Corporation, and act as, or appoint any person or persons to act as, proxy or attorney-in-fact for the Corporation (with or without power of substitution), with respect to the securities of any other entity that may be held by the Corporation.
