STOCKHOLDERS
Section 2.01 Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the
principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware
as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof.
Section 2.02 Quorum; Adjournment of Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or
provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these amended and restated bylaws (the bylaws),
the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present
in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the
transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of
stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the stockholders. The
stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until
adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the
chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present
in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is
present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other
than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the
adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, 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 such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at
which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been
transacted at the meeting as originally called.
Section 2.03 Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election
of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as
may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of
Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the
notice of the meeting, which date shall be within 13 months subsequent to the later of the date of
incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.04 Special Meetings. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at
any time only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or the
Board. The person or persons authorized to call a special meeting, may fix the place and time of
the meetings.
Section 2.05 Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, 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 date as the record date for
any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 10
days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action.
If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the
record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be
at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in
accordance with Article VIII, Section 2 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business
on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining
stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board
of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
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 the adjourned meeting.
Section 2.06 Advance Notice for Stockholder Proposals for the Annual Meetings. To be
timely, a stockholders notice (as described herein), to the Secretary must be delivered to or
mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90)
days nor more than one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual
meeting for the preceding year.
To be in proper written form, a stockholders notice to the Secretary must set forth as to
each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) either (i) a brief
2
description of the new business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the
reasons for conducting such new business at the annual meeting or (ii) a list of those candidates
the stockholder wishes to nominate for election as directors; (b) the name and record address of
such stockholders; (c) the class or series or number of shares of the Corporations stock that are
owned beneficially or of record by such stockholders; (d) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between such stockholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in
connection with the proposal by such stockholder and any material interest of such stockholder in
such proposal; and (e) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by
proxy at the annual meeting to bring such proposal before the meeting.
Section 2.07 Notice of Meetings. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all
meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is
called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation,
the Secretary of the Corporation or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder
entitled to vote thereat not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.
Such notice may be delivered personally by mail or by electronic transmission in the manner
provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. If mailed, notice is 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.
Section 2.08 Stock List. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any
meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the
address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such
stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the
meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, at
a place within the city where 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
stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole
time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 2.09 Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders
may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of
stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, or such other officer of the
Corporation as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at
the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall
be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching
upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of
votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting,
in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions.
No proxy shall be valid after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer
period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and
coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.
Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall
provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers
thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or
3
giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be
exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular
issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same
portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares.
Section 2.10 Voting; Elections; Inspectors. Unless otherwise required by law or
provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share
of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting.
Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such
officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe,
or in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors (or comparable body) of such
corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his
executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy.
All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required
by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders
holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting
a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which
shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be
required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by
ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation.
At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint
one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully
the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his
ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate
of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector,
except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector.
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the
election of directors shall be prohibited.
Section 2.11 Order of Business. At each meeting of the stockholders, one of the
following persons, in the order in which they are listed (and in the absence of the first, the
next, and so on), shall serve as chairman of the meeting: Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the
Board, Vice Presidents (in the order of their seniority if more than one), and Secretary. The
order of business at each such meeting shall be as determined by the chairman of the meeting. The
chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations,
and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper
conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the
maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the
affairs of the corporation, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the
commencement thereof, and the opening and closing of the voting polls.

taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be,
consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic
transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors
or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting,
and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of
Delaware.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement
for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated

that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 3.11 Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board

be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares
of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting

all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the

interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these bylaws and Section 3 of the
Registration Rights Agreement, the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
Section 6.01 Right to Indemnification. (A) Each person who was or is made a party or
is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the
fact that
9
he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or
officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the
Corporation, in any capacity, any corporation, partnership or other entity in which the Corporation
has a partnership or other interest, 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 or agent or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a
director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to
the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended (but, in case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment
permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the
Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss
(including, without limitation, attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in
connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors
and administrators, and (B) the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless in such manner any
person designated by the Board of Directors, or any committee thereof, as a person subject to this
indemnification provision, and who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to a
proceeding by reason of the fact that he, she or a person of whom he or she is the legal
representative, is or was serving at the request of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise whether such request is made before or after the acts taken or allegedly taken
or events occurring or allegedly occurring which give rise to such proceeding; provided, however,
that except as provided in Section 6.03, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking
indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.01 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 of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred herein shall be a contract
right based upon an offer from the Corporation, shall be deemed to be accepted by such persons
service or continued service as a director or officer of the Corporation for any period after the
offer is made and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the
Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current,
former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a current, former or proposed
director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to
be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to
an employee benefit plan) 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 indemnified person, to
repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is
not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise.
Section 6.02 Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may, by action
of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation,
individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and
officers provided for in this Article VI.
10
Section 6.03 Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a written claim received by the
Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by
the Corporation within 30 days after such receipt, 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 standards of conduct which make 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
commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances
because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in 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 6.04 Nonexclusivity 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 VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter
acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the
Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section 6.05 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to
protect itself and any person who is or was serving as 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 expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
Section 6.06 Savings Clause. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each current, former or proposed director and officer of
the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines,
and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of
this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law.
Section 6.07 Definitions. For purposes of this Article VI, reference to the
Corporation shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including
any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case
of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption
hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority
to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person
11
who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in
the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence
had continued.
ARTICLE VII
CAPITAL STOCK
CAPITAL STOCK
Section 7.01 Certificates of Stock. The shares of capital stock of the Corporation
shall be uncertificated shares, provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be
permitted to issue such nominal number of certificates to securities depositories and further may
provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock
shall be represented by certificates and any currently outstanding certificated shares may remain
certificated. The shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books of
the Corporation, which may be maintained by a third party registrar or transfer agent, by the
holder thereof in person or by his attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for at
least the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or
attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the
Corporation or its agents may reasonably require or upon receipt of proper transfer instructions
from the registered holder of uncertificated shares and upon compliance with appropriate procedures
for transferring shares in uncertificated form. Any resolution relating to certification of shares
shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the
Corporation. Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of
uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of shares represented by
certificates of the same class and series shall be identical. Every holder of certificated shares
shall be entitled to have a certificate signed in the name of the Corporation by: (x) the Chairman
of the Board of Directors (if any), the Chief Executive Officer (if any), the President (if any) or
a Vice President of the Corporation, and (y) by the Treasurer, an assistant Treasurer, the
Secretary or an assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares
registered in certificate form. Either or both 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 shall have 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 such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The
Corporation shall not have power to issue a certificate in bearer form.
Section 7.02 Transfer of Shares. Shares of the stock of the Corporation may be
transferred on the record of stockholders of the Corporation by the holder thereof or by such
holders duly authorized attorney upon surrender of a certificate therefor properly endorsed or
upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered holder of uncertificated shares or
by such holders duly authorized attorney and upon compliance with appropriate procedures for
transferring shares in uncertificated form.
12
Section 7.03 Ownership of Shares. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the
holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact
thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or
interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have
express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Section 7.04 Regulations Regarding Certificates. The Board of Directors shall have
the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient
concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of
capital stock of the Corporation.
Section 7.05 Lost or Destroyed Certificates. The Board of Directors may determine the
conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is
alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of
such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the
Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may
arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or
destroyed.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 8.01 Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as
established from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Section 8.02 Notice and Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given
by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of these bylaws, said notice shall
be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by
deposit of the same in a post office box in a sealed prepaid wrapper addressed to the person
entitled thereto at his post office address, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and
such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the
case may be.
Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any
of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to
notice or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, 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 stockholders, 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 the bylaws.
Section 8.03 Resignations. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign
at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified
therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Corporations Chief
Executive
13
Officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation.

appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in
relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation.
