A meeting of stockholders for any purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated on the notice thereof or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.
SECTION 2. Annual Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held on the first Tuesday of June in each year if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the next succeeding day which is not a legal holiday at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such time and as set forth in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof, for the election of the Board of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting. In the event the annual meeting is not held on the date above provided, the Board of Directors shall cause the meeting to be held as soon thereafter as may be convenient. Such subsequent meeting shall be called in the same manner as hereinafter provided for special meetings of stockholders.

 


 

SECTION 3. Special Meetings.
Special meetings of the stockholders, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called at any time for any purpose or purposes by the Board of Directors and shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such hour as may be designated by the Board of Directors in the notice of the meeting; provided, however, that the time so fixed shall permit the giving of notice as provided in Section 4 of this Article II, unless such notice is waived as provided by law or by these By-Laws. At a special meeting only such matters as may be specified in the notice thereof shall be considered. Special meetings shall also be called and held in such cases and in such manner as may be specifically required by law or by the Certificate of Incorporation.
SECTION 4. Notice of Meetings.
Written notice of each meeting of the stockholders, which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or where otherwise required by law, the purpose or purposes for which it is called, shall be given, unless a different period is required by law, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting, by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, the notice of a meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to be 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. No business other than that stated in the notice shall be transacted at any meeting without the unanimous consent of all the stockholders entitled to vote thereat. Any such notice for any meeting other than the annual meeting shall, if issued at the direction of the Board of Directors, so indicate. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days after the date of the original meeting, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
SECTION 5. Quorum.
Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, at all meetings of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business. The holders of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, whether or not a quorum shall be present, may adjourn the meeting from time to time, to a specified date or place. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum may be present, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
As to any matter with respect to which a separate class vote is required by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of one-third of the shares of such class which are then outstanding and entitled to vote shall be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the purpose of any separate vote required by such class.

The absence from any meeting of the number of shares required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws for action upon one matter shall not prevent action at such meeting upon any other matter or matters which may properly come before the meeting, if the number of shares required in respect of such other matters shall be present.
SECTION 6. Organization.
At each meeting of the stockholders, the President or, in his absence or inability to act, the most senior Vice President or, in his absence or inability to act, any person as may be designated by the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such designation, a chairman to be chosen at the meeting by the majority of those stockholders present in person or represented by proxy shall act as chairman of the meeting. The Secretary or, in his absence or inability to act, an Assistant Secretary, or in his absence or inability to act, any person as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors shall act as secretary of each meeting of stockholders and keep the minutes thereof; if no such person is present or has been chosen, the holders of record of a majority of shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting shall choose any person present to act as secretary of the meeting.
SECTION 7. Order of Business.
The order of business at all meetings of the stockholders shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting.
SECTION 8. Voting and Required Vote.
At each meeting of stockholders, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to statute, at each meeting of stockholders if there shall be a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat, shall decide all matters brought before such meeting.
SECTION 9. Proxies.
Each stockholder entitled to vote at any 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 him by proxy. Any such proxy shall be delivered to the secretary of such meeting at or prior to the time designated in the order of business for so delivering such proxies. Each such proxy shall be in writing and executed by the stockholder or his duly authorized attorney-in-fact, but no such proxy shall be voted after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed 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 proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally.
SECTION 10. List of Stockholders.
A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of each, and the number of shares held by each, shall be prepared, or shall be caused to be prepared, by the Secretary and shall be open to examination of any stockholder,

3


 

for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city in which the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to the stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by these By-Laws or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
SECTION 11. Voting by Fiduciaries, Pledgors and Joint Owners.
Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the Corporation he has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or his proxy, may represent such stock and vote thereon.
If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants-in-common, tenants by the entirety or otherwise, or if two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the same shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect:
  (a)   if only one votes, his act binds all;
 
  (b)   if more than one votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all;
 
  (c)   if more than one votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or any person voting the shares, or a beneficiary, if any, may apply to the Court of Chancery or such other court as may have jurisdiction to appoint an additional person to act with the persons so voting the shares, which shall then be voted as determined by a majority of such persons and the person appointed by the Court. If the instrument so filed shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interest, a majority or even-split for the purpose of this paragraph shall be a majority or even-split in interest.
SECTION 12. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting.
Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by all of the holders of outstanding stock.

Whenever a certificate is endorsed by or accompanied by a stock power executed by someone other than the person or persons named in the certificate, evidence of authority to transfer shall also be submitted with the certificate. Whenever any transfers of shares shall be made for collateral security and not absolutely, and both the transferor and transferee request the Corporation to do so, such fact shall be stated in the entry of the transfer.
SECTION 4. Determination of Stockholders.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person in whose name any share or shares stand on the record of stockholders as the owner of such share or shares for all purposes, including, without limitation, the rights to receive

In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-Laws or by resolution of the Board of Directors:
  (1)   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;
 
  (2)   The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed; and

SECTION 7. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates.
The holder of any certificates representing shares of stock of the Corporation shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such certificate, and the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new certificate of stock in lieu thereof upon satisfactory proof of such loss, theft or destruction upon the giving of an open penalty bond with

surety satisfactory to the Treasurer and the Corporation’s counsel, to protect the Corporation or any person injured on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of a new certificate from any liability or expense which it or they may incur by reason of the original certificates remaining outstanding and upon payment of the Corporation’s reasonable costs incident thereto.
SECTION 8. Dividends and Reserves.
Subject to the provisions of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors may, out of funds available therefor at any regular or special meeting, declare dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation as and when they deem expedient. Before declaring any dividend there may be set apart out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends, such sum or sums as the Board of Directors may from time to time in their discretion deem proper as a reserve fund for working capital, to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for the purpose of repairing, maintaining or increasing the property or business of the Corporation, or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall deem to be in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may, in its discretion, modify or abolish any such reserve at any time.

ARTICLE IX
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
SECTION 1. Right to Indemnification.
Each person who was or is made a party to or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation or, while a Director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as the same exists or may hereafter be amended against all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article IX, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section 1 shall be a contract right. The Corporation shall prepay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition, any advance payments to be paid by the Corporation within 20 calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the DGCL

15


 

requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a Director or officer in such person’s capacity as a Director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1 or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, to any employee, trustee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of Directors and officers of the Corporation and may enter into Indemnity Agreements to such effect.
SECTION 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit.
If a claim under Section 1 of this Article IX is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the circumstances that the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
SECTION 3. Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article IX shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any Director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification.
SECTION 4. Insurance.
The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or

16


 

loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
SECTION 5. Severability.
If any provision or provisions of this Article IX shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision or provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
SECTION 6. Expenses as a Witness.
To the extent that any Director or officer of the Corporation is by reason of such position, or a position as a director, officer, trustee, employee or agent with another entity at the request of the Corporation, a witness in any action, suit of proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
SECTION 7. Nature of Rights.
The rights conferred upon indemnitees by this Article IX shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of such indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX 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 repeal or modification.
ARTICLE X
Transactions with Directors and Officers
SECTION 1. Affiliated Transactions.
No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers. or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its Directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof that authorizes the contract or transaction or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:
  (a)   The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee,

17


 

      and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum; or
 
  (b)   The material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by the vote of the stockholders; or
 
  (c)   The contract or transaction is fair to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.
SECTION 2. Determining Quorum.
Common or interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof which authorized the contract or transaction.
ARTICLE XI
Amendment
The power to adopt, amend or repeal these By-Laws shall be in the stockholders entitled to vote and may be exercised by the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat at any annual meeting of the stockholders or at any special meeting thereof if notice of the proposed amendment or repeal be contained in the notice of such special meeting. Such power shall also be conferred upon the directors and may be exercised by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors or at any special meeting of the Board of Directors if notice of the proposed amendment or repeal be contained in the notice of such special meeting, but the fact that such power has been so conferred upon the directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power, nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal these By-Laws.
