Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective May 27, 2020 upon filing with the Delaware Secretary of State, following the requisite approval of shareholders at the 2020 Annual Shareholders' Meeting (the "2020 Annual Meeting") of Cerner Corporation (the "Company") held on May 22, 2020, the Company amended Article Sixth of its Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate"), to:

(i) eliminate the classification of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") over a three-year period (commencing with the 2021 annual shareholders' meeting) and provide for the annual election of all directors beginning at the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting (the "Declassification Amendment"); and
(ii) eliminate the specific advance notice provisions in the Restated Certificate related to shareholder nominations of directors at a meeting and replace them with a provision that requires shareholders desiring to nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting to comply with the advance notice and proxy access procedures set forth in the Company's Bylaws (the "Advance Notice Amendment").

The foregoing summary of the Declassification Amendment and Advance Notice Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendments to the Restated Certificate, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. A more detailed summary of the material changes in rights of the Company's shareholders as a result of the amendments was included in Proposal Nos. 4 and 5 of the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2020 (the "2020 Proxy Statement"), which summary is incorporated in its entirety herein by reference.

The Company's Board also adopted conforming amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), effective as of May 27, 2020, to reflect the Declassification Amendment. Specifically, the Bylaws were amended as follows:

Section 15 was amended to eliminate the classification of the Board over a three-year period (commencing with the 2021 annual shareholders' meeting) and provide for the annual election of all directors beginning at the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting.
Section 16 was amended to provide that a director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy other than a newly created directorship from and after the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting will hold office until the next election of directors and that any directors so chosen prior to that time will have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.
Section 16 was further amended to provide that any newly created directorships prior to the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting will generally be apportioned among the classes of directors so that the classes are as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors permits and that a director elected to fill a newly created directorship will have the same remaining term as that of the other directors in his or her class. From and after the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting, any directors elected to fill any newly created directorships will hold office until the next election of directors.
Section 17 was amended to provide that, from and after the 2023 annual shareholders' meeting when the Board will cease to be classified, directors may be removed with or without cause by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.

The foregoing amendments were approved in the form of an amendment and restatement of the Bylaws. The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, an unmarked copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, and a marked copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.3 hereto (marked against the Company's prior bylaws), which are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1

CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
TO THE
THIRD RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
OF
CERNER CORPORATION

Cerner Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), for the purpose of amending its Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, in accordance with Section 242 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), does hereby make and execute this Certificate of Amendment to the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation and does hereby certify that:

1. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting subparagraph (c) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new subparagraph (c) of Article SIXTH:

(c) Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, each person elected as a director of the Corporation at any annual meeting of stockholders (each annual meeting of stockholders, an "Annual Meeting") after the 2020 Annual Meeting to succeed a person whose term of office as a director has expired, shall be elected for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting. Each director elected at or prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to serve as a member of the class of directors to which he or she was so elected for the term elected. At and after the 2023 Annual Meeting, the directors shall no longer be classified with respect to the time for which they hold office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until a successor has been elected or qualified or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.

2. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting subparagraph (d) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new subparagraph (d) of Article SIXTH:


(d) Except for directorships created pursuant to paragraph FOURTH hereof relating to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, and except for vacancies in such directorships, any vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the board of directors, acting by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and from and after the 2023 Annual Meeting any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting: (a) each director then serving shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her term or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal; and (b) except to the extent that an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurs in connection with the rights of holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors among the class or classes as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole board of directors permits. A director who fills a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.

3. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting subparagraph (e) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new subparagraph (e) of Article SIXTH:

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation), prior to the election of directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any



director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e), each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of this Certificate of Incorporation). From and after the election of directors at the 2023 Annual Meeting when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. For the purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e): (i) the term "Total Voting Power" shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term "Voting Stock" shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on removal of any director or the entire board of directors in the manner provided in this paragraph SIXTH, section (e) (except that if the next succeeding sentence is operative, then the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall not be considered "Voting Stock" for purposes of this paragraph SIXTH, section (e)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the provisions of this paragraph SIXTH shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of Preferred Stock.

4. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting subparagraph (f) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following:

(f) [Omitted]

5. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting subparagraph (h) in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following new subparagraph (h) of Article SIXTH:

Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a proxy committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally. However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of directors generally may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given in accordance with the advance notice and proxy access procedures set forth in the Corporation’s bylaws, as amended from time to time. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with such procedures.

6. The provisions of the present Article SIXTH, subparagraph (i) of the Third Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation are amended by deleting "or class of directors" in line 3 of the first sentence of Article SIXTH, subparagraph (i).




















IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Cerner Corporation has caused this Certificate of Amendment to be executed on its behalf by its Chief Executive Officer, and attested by its Secretary, on May 26, 2020, and each of them does hereby affirm and acknowledge that this Certificate of Amendment is the act and deed of the Corporation and that the facts stated herein are true.

(B) if the notice relates to any business other than a nomination or election of a director or directors, the stockholder must also set forth (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest of such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, in such business; and (ii) a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and



(C) as to each person, if any, whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection to the board of directors (i) all information relating to such person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Rule 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the stockholder making the nomination and any beneficial owner on whose behalf the nomination is made, if any, or any affiliate or associate thereof or person acting in concert therewith, were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant; and
(D) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by subparagraph 5.3. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(3)Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of subparagraph 5.2(a)(2) of this bylaw to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board of directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.



        5.3 Submission of Questionnaire, Representation and Agreement. To be eligible for nomination by a stockholder for election or reelection as a director of the corporation, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under subparagraphs 5.2 and 5.4) to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made (which questionnaire shall be provided by the secretary upon written request) and a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request) that such person (a) is not and will not become a party to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person, if elected as a director of the corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the corporation, or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply, if elected as a director of the corporation, with such person’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (b) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed therein; and (c) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director of the corporation, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the corporation.
        5.4 Proxy Access.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this subparagraph 5.4, if any Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders submits to the corporation a Proxy Access Notice (as defined below) that complies with this subparagraph 5.4 and such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders otherwise satisfies all the terms and conditions of this subparagraph 5.4 (such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders, a “Nominating Stockholder”), the corporation shall include in its proxy statement or on its form of proxy and ballot, as applicable (collectively, “proxy materials”), for any annual meeting of stockholders, in addition to any persons nominated for election by the board of directors or any committee thereof:
(1) the name of any person nominated by such Nominating Stockholder for election to the board of directors at such annual meeting of stockholders who meets the requirements of this subparagraph 5.4 (a “Nominee”);
(2) disclosure about the Nominee and the Nominating Stockholder required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) or other applicable law to be included in the proxy materials;
(3) subject to the other applicable provisions of this subparagraph 5.4, a written statement, not to exceed 500 words, that is not contrary to any of the Commission’s proxy rules, including Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act (a



Supporting Statement”), included by the Nominating Stockholder in the Proxy Access Notice intended for inclusion in the proxy materials in support of the Nominee’s election to the board of directors; and
(4) any other information that the corporation or the board of directors determines, in its discretion, to include in the proxy materials relating to the nomination of the Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4.
(b) Maximum Number of Nominees.
(1)The corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders more Nominees than that number of directors constituting 20% of the total number of directors of the corporation on the last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be submitted pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4 (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Maximum Number”). The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by: (A) the number of Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn or that the board of directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting of stockholders (including, without limitation, any person who is or will be nominated by the board of directors pursuant to any agreement or understanding with one or more stockholders to avoid such person being formally proposed as a Nominee), and (B) the number of incumbent directors who had been Nominees with respect to any of the preceding three annual meetings of stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is being recommended by the board of directors. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the board of directors after the deadline set forth in subparagraph 5.4(d) but before the date of the annual meeting of stockholders, and the board of directors resolves to reduce the size of the board of directors in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors as so reduced.
(2)Any Nominating Stockholder submitting more than one Nominee for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials shall rank such Nominees based on the order that the Nominating Stockholder desires such Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials in the event that the total number of Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number. In the event that the number of Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Nominee from each Nominating Stockholder will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order from largest to smallest of the number of shares of common stock of the corporation owned by each Nominating Stockholder as disclosed in each Nominating Stockholder’s Proxy Access Notice. If the Maximum Number is not reached after



the highest ranking Nominee of each Nominating Stockholder has been selected, this process will be repeated as many times as necessary until the Maximum Number is reached. If, after the deadline for submitting a Proxy Access Notice as set forth in subparagraph 5.4(d), a Nominating Stockholder ceases to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph 5.4 or withdraws its nomination or a Nominee ceases to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph 5.4 or becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the board of directors, whether before or after the mailing of definitive proxy materials, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the corporation: (A) shall not be required to include in its proxy materials the disregarded Nominee; (B) may otherwise communicate to its stockholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy materials, that the Nominee will not be included as a Nominee in the proxy materials and the election of such Nominee will not be voted on at the annual meeting of stockholders; and (C) will not be required to include the next highest ranking Nominee, if any, or any other Nominee from the Nominating Stockholder or any other stockholder.
(c) Eligibility of Nominating Stockholder.
(1)An “Eligible Stockholder” is a person who has either (A) been a record holder of the shares of common stock used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this subparagraph 5.4(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in subparagraph (2) immediately below; or (B) provides to the secretary, within the time period referred to in subparagraph 5.4(d), evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that satisfies the requirements as established by the Commission for a stockholder proposal under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).
(2)An Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders may submit a nomination in accordance with this subparagraph 5.4 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) of shares of the corporation’s common stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Proxy Access Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. Two or more funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (two or more funds referred to under any of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), collectively a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one Eligible Stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Stockholders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Stockholder that are set forth in this subparagraph 5.4, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each



member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. Should any stockholder withdraw from a group of Eligible Stockholders at any time prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the group of Eligible Stockholders shall only be deemed to own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.
(3)The “Minimum Number” of shares of the corporation’s common stock means three percent (3%) of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the corporation with the Commission prior to the submission of the Proxy Access Notice.
(4)For purposes of this subparagraph 5.4, an Eligible Stockholder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the corporation as to which the Eligible Stockholder possesses both:
(A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and
(B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares: (1) sold by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares, cash or other property based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (w) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Stockholder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (x) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Stockholder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. An Eligible Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by



the Eligible Stockholder. An Eligible Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Stockholder has loaned such shares; provided that the Eligible Stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five business days’ notice and includes in the Proxy Access Notice an agreement that it will (y) promptly recall such loaned shares upon being notified that any of its Nominees will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4, and (z) continue to hold such recalled shares (including the right to vote such shares) through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Each Nominating Stockholder shall furnish any other information that may reasonably be required by the board of directors to verify such stockholder’s continuous ownership of at least the Minimum Number during the three-year period referred to above.
(5)No person may be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Stockholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that owns the greatest aggregate number of shares of the corporation’s common stock as reflected in the Proxy Access Notice, and no shares may be attributed as owned by more than one person constituting a Nominating Stockholder under this subparagraph 5.4.
(d) Proxy Access Notice. To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Stockholder must, no earlier than 150 calendar days and no later than 120 calendar days before the date of the corporation’s proxy materials released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders, submit to the secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation all of the following information and documents (collectively, the “Proxy Access Notice”):

5.4(c), has provided evidence of ownership to the extent required by subparagraph 5.4(c), and such evidence of ownership is true, complete and correct;

(J) a representation and warranty that the Nominating Stockholder will not use any proxy card other than the corporation’s proxy card in soliciting stockholders in connection with the election of a Nominee at the annual meeting of stockholders;

(3) An executed agreement pursuant to which the Nominating Stockholder (including each group member) agrees:

(B) to file with the Commission any written solicitation or other communication with the corporation’s stockholders relating to any Nominee or one or more of the corporation’s directors or director nominees, regardless of whether any such filing is required under any law, rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under any law, rule or regulation;
(C) to assume all liability stemming from an action, suit or proceeding concerning any actual or alleged legal or regulatory violation arising out of any communication by the Nominating Stockholder with the corporation, its stockholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors, including, without limitation, the Proxy Access Notice;

(E) in the event that (i) any information included in the Proxy Access Notice, or any other communication by the Nominating Stockholder (including with respect to any group member), with the corporation, its stockholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or due to a subsequent development omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading), or (ii) the Nominating Stockholder (including any group member) fails to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements described in subparagraph 5.4(c), the Nominating Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours of discovering such misstatement, omission or failure) (x) in the case of clause (i) above, notify the corporation and any other recipient of such communication of the misstatement or omission in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct the misstatement or omission, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, notify

Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or 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 these bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and not transacted.



(b) For purposes of these bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of these bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to subparagraphs 5.2(a)(1)(C), 5.2(a)(1)(D), 5.4 and 5.5 of these bylaws.

In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the board of directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by subparagraph 5.2 (a)(2) of these bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by subparagraph 5.3 of these bylaws) shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made 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 any



adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
The “call” and the “notice” of any such meeting shall be deemed to be synonymous.
7.Voting. At all meetings of stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said meeting, unless said instrument shall provide for a longer period. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or resolutions adopted by the board of directors in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote at such meeting registered in his or her name on the books of the corporation. At all meetings of stockholders the voting may be otherwise than by ballot, including the election of directors, except that, unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, any qualified voter may demand a vote by ballot on any matter, in which event such vote shall be taken by ballot.
Subject to subparagraph 5.2 above, stockholders shall elect directors of the corporation at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, by the holders of outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at any time before the election, the stockholders shall instead elect the directors by a plurality vote.
8.Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of any business, except as otherwise provided by law, by the certificate of incorporation, or by these bylaws. Every decision of a majority in amount of stock of such quorum shall be valid as a corporate act, except in those specific instances in which a larger vote is required by law or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws.
If the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote are not present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy at such meeting or the chairman of such meeting shall have power successively to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a specified time and place, if any, or the means of remote communication, if any, without notice to anyone other than by announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting which was adjourned. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after 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.
9.Stock Ledger. The original or duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required under paragraph 10 of these



bylaws or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
10.Stockholders, Lists. The secretary or assistant secretary of the corporation, who shall have charge of the stock ledger, shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either (a) 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; or (b) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list was provided in the notice of meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the 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. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open for inspection by any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by applicable law.
11.Notice. Written or printed notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes thereof, and means of remote communication, if any, for each meeting, shall be given to each stockholder of record of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting in writing in a manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when it is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation.
12.Stockholder Action; How Taken. No action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
13.Procedure and Conduct of Meetings.
        13.1 Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the board, if any, or in his or her absence by the vice chairman of the board, if any, or in his or her absence by the chairman of the nominating, governance and public policy committee, if any, or in his or her absence by the chief executive officer, if any, or in his or her absence, by the president, if any, or in his or her absence by an executive vice president, if any, or in his or her absence by a senior vice president, if any, or in his or her absence by a vice president, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the vote of a majority in interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat. The secretary or in his or her absence an assistant secretary of the corporation or in the absence of the secretary



and all assistant secretaries of the corporation a person whom the chairman of the meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of the meeting and keep a record of the proceedings thereof.
        13.2 The board of directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the board of directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedure for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation on such meeting to stockholders of records of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the board of directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.
        13.3 The board of directors shall appoint one or more Inspectors of Election to serve at every meeting of the stockholders at which directors are to be elected.
Board of Directors
14.Management. The property, business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors. The number of directors of the corporation (including directors to be elected by the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class or classes) shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board of directors. As used in these bylaws, the terms “whole board” or “whole board of directors” mean the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies. In addition to the powers and authorities by these bylaws and the certificate of incorporation expressly conferred upon it, the board of directors may exercise all such powers of the corporation, and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
15.Classes. Until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the members of the whole board of directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any Preferred Stock or series thereof, shall be divided into three (3) classes (to be designated as Class I, Class II and Class III). Each director elected at or prior to the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to serve as a member of the class of directors to which he or she was so elected for the term elected. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, each person elected as a director of the Corporation at any annual meeting of stockholders after the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders to succeed a person whose term of office as a director has expired, shall be elected for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. At



and after the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors shall no longer be classified with respect to the time for which they hold office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each director shall hold office until a successor has been elected or qualified or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.
16.Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Except for directorships created pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of the certificate of incorporation relating to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, and except for vacancies in such directorships, any vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than quorum, or by a sole remaining director, unless it is otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, and from and after the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors prior to the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders: (a) each director then serving shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her term or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal; (b) except to the extent that an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurs in connection with the rights of holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors among the class or classes as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole board of directors permits; and (c) a director elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors will have the same remaining term as that of the other directors in the class to which he or she is appointed. A director who fills a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.

17.Removal of Directors. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these bylaws (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law or these bylaws), prior to the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph 17, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation). From and after the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares



then entitled to vote at an election of directors. For the purposes of this paragraph 17, (i) the term “Total Voting Power” shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term “Voting Stock” shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on removal of any director or the entire board of directors in the manner provided in this paragraph 17 (except that if the next succeeding sentence is operative, then the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall not be considered “Voting Stock” for purposes of this paragraph 17). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 17 shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of Preferred Stock.
18.Notification of Nominations. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder entitled to generally vote in the election of directors at the meeting of the stockholders at which directors will be elected. However, any such stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder complies with the requirements set forth in paragraph 5 of these bylaws. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.
19.Director Acceptance of Office. Every director of the corporation, upon his or her election, shall qualify by accepting the office of director, and his or her attendance at, or his or her written approval of the minutes of, any meeting of the board subsequent to his election shall constitute his or her acceptance of such office; or he or she may execute such acceptance by a separate writing, which shall be placed in the minute book.
20.Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such times and places either within or without the State of Delaware as shall from time to time be fixed by resolution adopted by the whole board of directors. Any business may be transacted at a regular meeting.
21.Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the vice chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, any executive vice president or the secretary, or by any two (2) or more of the directors. The place may be within or without the State of Delaware as designated in the notice.
22.Notice of Special Meetings. Written or printed notice of each special meeting of the board, stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be mailed to each director addressed to him or her at his or her residence or usual place of business at least three (3) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or shall be sent to him or her by means of electronic transmission, or delivered to him or her personally, at least two (2) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when it is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon addressed to the director at his or her residence or usual place of business. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication,



when directed to a number at which the director has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the director has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the director of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the director. The notice may be given by any officer having authority to call the meeting. “Notice” and “call” with respect to such meetings shall be deemed to be synonymous. Any meeting of the board of directors shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given if all directors shall be present.
23.Meetings by Conference Telephone or Similar Communications Equipment. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors of the corporation, or any committee designated by the board, may participate in a meeting of the board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by that means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
24.Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a majority of the total number of directors shall be necessary at all meetings to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as may be otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors.
If at least two (2) directors or one third (1/3) of the whole board of directors, whichever is greater, is present at any meeting at which a quorum is not present, a majority of the directors present at such meeting shall have power successively to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a subsequent date, without notice to any director other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting which was adjourned.
25.Standing or Temporary Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more directors of the corporation. The board may designate one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority of the board of directors with respect to amending the certificate of incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or



consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, amending the bylaws of the corporation, declaring a dividend or making any other distribution to the stockholders, authorizing the issuance of equity otherwise than pursuant to the grant or exercise of an equity award under employee equity incentive plans of the corporation, or appointing any member of any committee of the board of directors.
Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. Unless the board of directors provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee. All committees so appointed shall, unless otherwise provided by the board of directors, keep regular minutes of the transactions at their meetings and shall cause them to be recorded in books kept for that purpose in the office of the corporation and shall report the same to the board of directors at its next meeting. The secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation may act as secretary of the committee if the committee so requests.
26.Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors may, by resolution, fix the compensation to be paid directors for serving as directors of the corporation and may, by resolution, fix a sum which shall be allowed and paid for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may provide for reimbursement of expenses incurred by directors in attending each meeting; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving his or her regular compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed similar compensation for attending committee meetings.
27.Resignations. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the corporation if no time is specified therein; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
28.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
(a) Indemnification in Actions by Third Parties. The corporation shall indemnify each person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise against all liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, judgments, amounts paid in settlement (provided that such settlement and all amounts paid in connection therewith are approved in advance by the corporation in accordance with paragraph (d) of this paragraph 28, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), attorneys’ fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines and other expenses



actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any such person or person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The termination of any such action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or under a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that he had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(b) Indemnification in Derivative Actions. The corporation shall indemnify each person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer of director of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise against amounts paid in settlement thereof (provided that such settlement and all amounts paid in connection therewith are approved in advance by the corporation in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 28, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this subparagraph (b) shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action, suit or proceeding is brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.
(c) Indemnification for Expenses. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph 28, to the extent that a person who is or was serving as a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28 (including the dismissal of any such action, suit or proceeding without prejudice), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against



expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
(d) Determination of Right to Indemnification. Prior to indemnifying a person pursuant to the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28, unless ordered by a court and except as otherwise provided by subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 28, the corporation shall determine that such person has met the specified standard of conduct entitling such person to indemnification as set forth under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28. Any determination that a person shall or shall not be indemnified under the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28 shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the stockholders, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the corporation; provided, however, that in the event such determination is adverse to the person or persons to be indemnified hereunder, such person or persons shall have the right to maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the corporation to determine whether or not such person has met the requisite standard of conduct and is entitled to such indemnification hereunder. If such court action is successful and the person or persons is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, such person or persons shall be reimbursed by the corporation for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action).
(e) Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a person who may be entitled to indemnification hereunder in defending an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, 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 such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by (i) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding for which the advancement is requested, (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders, that, based upon the facts known to the board, counsel or stockholders at the time such determination is made, such person acted in bad faith and in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the board, stockholders or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such person deliberately breached his or her duty to the corporation or its stockholders.



(f) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this paragraph 28 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, policy of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding their respective offices, and shall not limit in any way any right which the corporation may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different persons or classes of persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this paragraph 28 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and estate of such a person.
(g) Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the board of directors, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any 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 this paragraph.
(h) Vesting of Rights. The rights granted by this paragraph 28 shall be vested in each person entitled to indemnification hereunder as a bargained-for, contractual condition of such person’s acceptance of his election or appointment as a director or officer of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director of officer of any Other Enterprise and while this paragraph 28 may be amended or repealed, no such amendment or repeal shall release, terminate or adversely affect the rights of such person under this paragraph 28 with respect to any act taken or the failure to take any act by such person prior to such amendment or repeal or with respect to any action, suit or proceeding with respect to such act or failure to act filed after such amendment or repeal.
(i) Definition of the “Corporation”. For purposes of this paragraph 28, references to “the corporation” shall, if and only if the board of directors shall determine, include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers or persons serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this paragraph 28 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.



(j) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of this paragraph 28, references to “Other Enterprises” or “Other Enterprise” shall include without limitation any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to “defense” shall include investigations of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding as well as appeals thereof and shall also include any defensive assertion of a cross claim or counterclaim and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director or officer of a corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this paragraph 28. For the purpose of this paragraph 28, unless the board of directors of the corporation shall determine otherwise, any director or officer of the corporation who shall serve as an officer or director of any Other Enterprise of which the corporation, directly or indirectly, is a stockholder or creditor, or in which the corporation is in any way interested, shall be presumed to be serving as such director or officer at the request of the corporation. In all other instances where any person shall serve as a director or officer of an Other Enterprise, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving as such director or officer at the request of the corporation, the board of directors of the corporation shall determine whether such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual or prior request for such service, which determination shall be final and binding on the corporation and the person seeking indemnification.
(k) Severability. If any provision of this paragraph 28 or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of this paragraph 28 and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and to the fullest extent possible the court finding such provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all persons or entities and to give the maximum possible protection to persons subject to indemnification hereby within the bounds of validity, legality and enforceability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any officer or director of the corporation or any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, is entitled under any provision of this paragraph 28, to indemnification by the corporation for some or a portion of the judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation, the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, or administrative, investigative or appellate, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the corporation shall



nevertheless indemnify such person for the portion thereof to which such person is entitled.
29.Action without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if written consent thereto is signed by all members of the board of directors or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee.

The board of directors may, by resolution, from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.
44.Execution Authority. Except as otherwise restricted by law, the corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws, all bonds, promissory notes, contracts, agreements, deeds, mortgages, leases, guarantees, loans, commitments, obligations, liabilities and other instruments to be made or executed for or on behalf of the corporation shall be executed on behalf of the corporation by (a) the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer or secretary, (b) any executive or senior vice president or such other officer or employee of the corporation authorized by the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer or secretary, with such limitations or restrictions on such authority as he or she deems appropriate, or (c) such other person as may be authorized by the board of directors, and, if required, the seal of the corporation shall be thereto affixed and attested by the secretary or assistant secretary. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the board of directors, such duly authorized officers of the corporation may delegate such powers to others under his or her jurisdiction, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.
Stock
45.Shares of Stock. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificated or uncertificated stock. The shares of stock shall be issued in numerical order. Stockholders shall



not be entitled to receive a certificate to evidence share ownership. The board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary shall, at their discretion, determine whether shares shall be issued in certificated or uncertificated form. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, such certificates of stock shall be signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the chairman of the board, chief executive officer or the president or a vice president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares represented by such certificate. Any of or all the signatures on such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved or printed. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile, engraved or printed signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon, had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the corporation.
46.Transfers of Stock. Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the stock transfer books of the corporation, kept at the office of the corporation or of the transfer agent designated to transfer the class of stock, and before a new certificate, provided such shares are represented by a certificate, is issued or a transfer of stock is effectuated, the old certificate (if such shares were initially issued in certificated form) shall be surrendered for cancellation. Until and unless the board appoints some other person, firm or corporation as its transfer agent (and upon the revocation of any such appointment, thereafter until a new appointment is similarly made), the secretary shall be the transfer agent of the corporation without the necessity of any formal action of the board, and the secretary, or any person designated by him or her, shall perform all of the duties thereof.
47.Registered Stockholders. Only registered stockholders shall be entitled to be treated by the corporation as the holders and owners in fact of the shares standing in their respective names, and the corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable federal law or by the laws of Delaware.
48.Lost Certificates. The board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary may direct that certificated stock be cancelled and the stock reissued as either certificated or uncertificated stock, in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate or certificates to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a replacement certificate or certificates or the recording of uncertificated stock, the board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary may, in their discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, if any, a bond in such sum as it may direct to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or



destroyed or with respect to the issuance of such new certificate, certificates or uncertificated stock.
49.Regulations. The board of directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, conversion and registration of certificated or uncertificated shares of stock of the corporation, not inconsistent with the laws of Delaware, the certificate of incorporation of the corporation and these bylaws.
50.Fixing Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, if such action is authorized, 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 (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. 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.
Dividends and Finance
51.Dividends. Dividends upon the outstanding shares of stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and of any applicable law and of these bylaws, may be declared by the board of directors at any meeting. Subject to such provisions, dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of stock of the corporation.
52.Creation of Reserves. The directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose or may abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
53.Depositories. The moneys of the corporation shall be deposited in the name of the corporation in such bank or banks or other depositories as the board of directors shall designate, and shall be drawn out only by check signed by persons designated by resolution adopted by the board of directors, except that the board of directors may delegate said powers in the manner hereinafter provided in this paragraph 48. The board of directors may by resolution authorize an officer or officers of the corporation to designate any bank or banks or other depositories in which moneys of the corporation may be deposited, and to designate the persons who may sign checks drawn on any particular account or accounts of the corporation, whether created by direct designation of the board of directors or by an authorized officer or officers as aforesaid.
54.Fiscal Year. The board of directors shall have power to fix and from time to time change the fiscal year of the corporation. In the absence of action by the board of directors, the fiscal year of the corporation shall end each year on the date which the corporation treated as the



close of its first fiscal year, until such time, if any, as the fiscal year shall be changed by the board of directors.
55.Directors, Annual Statement. The board of directors may present at each annual meeting of the stockholders, and when called for by vote of the stockholders shall present to any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation.
Books and Records
56.Books, Accounts and Records. The books, accounts and records of the corporation, except as may be otherwise required by the laws of the State of Delaware, may be kept outside of the State of Delaware, at such place or places as the board of directors may from time to time determine. The board of directors shall determine whether, to what extent and the conditions upon which the books, accounts and records of the corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any book, account or record of the corporation, except as conferred by law or by resolution of the stockholders or directors.
Miscellaneous
57.Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said 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 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 these bylaws.
58.Amendments. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, or new bylaws may be adopted, in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation.
59.Business Combinations. The corporation shall not be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

(D) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the board of directors, include a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by subparagraph 5.3. The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the corporation or that could be material to a reasonable stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
(3)Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of subparagraph 5.2(a)(2) of this bylaw to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the board of directors is increased and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased board of directors at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this bylaw shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

        5.4 Proxy Access.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this subparagraph 5.4, if any Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders submits to the corporation a Proxy Access Notice (as defined below) that complies with this subparagraph 5.4 and such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders otherwise satisfies all the terms and conditions of this subparagraph 5.4 (such Eligible Stockholder or group of Eligible Stockholders, a “Nominating Stockholder”), the corporation shall include in its proxy statement or on its form of proxy and ballot, as applicable (collectively, “proxy materials”), for any annual meeting of stockholders, in addition to any persons nominated for election by the board of directors or any committee thereof:

(3) subject to the other applicable provisions of this subparagraph 5.4, a written statement, not to exceed 500 words, that is not contrary to any of the Commission’s proxy rules, including Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act (a



Supporting Statement”), included by the Nominating Stockholder in the Proxy Access Notice intended for inclusion in the proxy materials in support of the Nominee’s election to the board of directors; and
(4) any other information that the corporation or the board of directors determines, in its discretion, to include in the proxy materials relating to the nomination of the Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4.
(b) Maximum Number of Nominees.
(1)The corporation shall not be required to include in the proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders more Nominees than that number of directors constituting 20% of the total number of directors of the corporation on the last day on which a Proxy Access Notice may be submitted pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4 (rounded down to the nearest whole number) (the “Maximum Number”). The Maximum Number for a particular annual meeting shall be reduced by: (A) the number of Nominees who are subsequently withdrawn or that the board of directors itself decides to nominate for election at such annual meeting of stockholders (including, without limitation, any person who is or will be nominated by the board of directors pursuant to any agreement or understanding with one or more stockholders to avoid such person being formally proposed as a Nominee), and (B) the number of incumbent directors who had been Nominees with respect to any of the preceding three annual meetings of stockholders and whose reelection at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders is being recommended by the board of directors. In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs on the board of directors after the deadline set forth in subparagraph 5.4(d) but before the date of the annual meeting of stockholders, and the board of directors resolves to reduce the size of the board of directors in connection therewith, the Maximum Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors as so reduced.
(2)Any Nominating Stockholder submitting more than one Nominee for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials shall rank such Nominees based on the order that the Nominating Stockholder desires such Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials in the event that the total number of Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number. In the event that the number of Nominees submitted by Nominating Stockholders exceeds the Maximum Number, the highest ranking Nominee from each Nominating Stockholder will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials until the Maximum Number is reached, going in order from largest to smallest of the number of shares of common stock of the corporation owned by each Nominating Stockholder as disclosed in each Nominating Stockholder’s Proxy Access Notice. If the Maximum Number is not reached after



the highest ranking Nominee of each Nominating Stockholder has been selected, this process will be repeated as many times as necessary until the Maximum Number is reached. If, after the deadline for submitting a Proxy Access Notice as set forth in subparagraph 5.4(d), a Nominating Stockholder ceases to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph 5.4 or withdraws its nomination or a Nominee ceases to satisfy the requirements of this subparagraph 5.4 or becomes unwilling or unable to serve on the board of directors, whether before or after the mailing of definitive proxy materials, then the nomination shall be disregarded, and the corporation: (A) shall not be required to include in its proxy materials the disregarded Nominee; (B) may otherwise communicate to its stockholders, including without limitation by amending or supplementing its proxy materials, that the Nominee will not be included as a Nominee in the proxy materials and the election of such Nominee will not be voted on at the annual meeting of stockholders; and (C) will not be required to include the next highest ranking Nominee, if any, or any other Nominee from the Nominating Stockholder or any other stockholder.
(c) Eligibility of Nominating Stockholder.
(1)An “Eligible Stockholder” is a person who has either (A) been a record holder of the shares of common stock used to satisfy the eligibility requirements in this subparagraph 5.4(c) continuously for the three-year period specified in subparagraph (2) immediately below; or (B) provides to the secretary, within the time period referred to in subparagraph 5.4(d), evidence of continuous ownership of such shares for such three-year period from one or more securities intermediaries in a form that satisfies the requirements as established by the Commission for a stockholder proposal under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule).
(2)An Eligible Stockholder or group of up to 20 Eligible Stockholders may submit a nomination in accordance with this subparagraph 5.4 only if the person or group (in the aggregate) has continuously owned at least the Minimum Number (as defined below) of shares of the corporation’s common stock throughout the three-year period preceding and including the date of submission of the Proxy Access Notice, and continues to own at least the Minimum Number through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. Two or more funds that are (i) under common management and investment control, (ii) under common management and funded primarily by a single employer or (iii) a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (two or more funds referred to under any of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), collectively a “Qualifying Fund”) shall be treated as one Eligible Stockholder. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a nomination by a group of Eligible Stockholders, any and all requirements and obligations for an individual Eligible Stockholder that are set forth in this subparagraph 5.4, including the minimum holding period, shall apply to each



member of such group; provided, however, that the Minimum Number shall apply to the ownership of the group in the aggregate. Should any stockholder withdraw from a group of Eligible Stockholders at any time prior to the annual meeting of stockholders, the group of Eligible Stockholders shall only be deemed to own the shares held by the remaining members of the group.
(3)The “Minimum Number” of shares of the corporation’s common stock means three percent (3%) of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of the most recent date for which such amount is given in any filing by the corporation with the Commission prior to the submission of the Proxy Access Notice.
(4)For purposes of this subparagraph 5.4, an Eligible Stockholder “owns” only those outstanding shares of the corporation as to which the Eligible Stockholder possesses both:
(A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and
(B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares: (1) sold by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, (2) borrowed by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates for any purpose or purchased by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell, or (3) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares, cash or other property based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of the corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of: (w) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such Eligible Stockholder’s or any of its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares, and/or (x) hedging, offsetting, or altering to any degree, gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of such shares by such Eligible Stockholder or any of its affiliates. An Eligible Stockholder “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the Eligible Stockholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. An Eligible Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Stockholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other similar instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by



the Eligible Stockholder. An Eligible Stockholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the Eligible Stockholder has loaned such shares; provided that the Eligible Stockholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five business days’ notice and includes in the Proxy Access Notice an agreement that it will (y) promptly recall such loaned shares upon being notified that any of its Nominees will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4, and (z) continue to hold such recalled shares (including the right to vote such shares) through the date of the annual meeting of stockholders. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Each Nominating Stockholder shall furnish any other information that may reasonably be required by the board of directors to verify such stockholder’s continuous ownership of at least the Minimum Number during the three-year period referred to above.
(5)No person may be in more than one group constituting a Nominating Stockholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, it shall be deemed to be a member of the group that owns the greatest aggregate number of shares of the corporation’s common stock as reflected in the Proxy Access Notice, and no shares may be attributed as owned by more than one person constituting a Nominating Stockholder under this subparagraph 5.4.
(d) Proxy Access Notice. To nominate a Nominee, the Nominating Stockholder must, no earlier than 150 calendar days and no later than 120 calendar days before the date of the corporation’s proxy materials released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders, submit to the secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation all of the following information and documents (collectively, the “Proxy Access Notice”):

(J) a representation and warranty that the Nominating Stockholder will not use any proxy card other than the corporation’s proxy card in soliciting stockholders in connection with the election of a Nominee at the annual meeting of stockholders;

(B) to file with the Commission any written solicitation or other communication with the corporation’s stockholders relating to any Nominee or one or more of the corporation’s directors or director nominees, regardless of whether any such filing is required under any law, rule or regulation or whether any exemption from filing is available for such materials under any law, rule or regulation;

(E) in the event that (i) any information included in the Proxy Access Notice, or any other communication by the Nominating Stockholder (including with respect to any group member), with the corporation, its stockholders or any other person in connection with the nomination or election of directors ceases to be true and accurate in all material respects (or due to a subsequent development omits a material fact necessary to make the statements made not misleading), or (ii) the Nominating Stockholder (including any group member) fails to continue to satisfy the eligibility requirements described in subparagraph 5.4(c), the Nominating Stockholder shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours of discovering such misstatement, omission or failure) (x) in the case of clause (i) above, notify the corporation and any other recipient of such communication of the misstatement or omission in such previously provided information and of the information that is required to correct the misstatement or omission, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, notify

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting of stockholders or the public announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Proxy Access Notice pursuant to this subparagraph 5.4.

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



(b) For purposes of these bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of these bylaws, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in these bylaws; provided, however, that any references in these bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit the requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to subparagraphs 5.2(a)(1)(C), 5.2(a)(1)(D), 5.4 and 5.5 of these bylaws. Nothing in these bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights (1) of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or (2) of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock if and to the extent provided for under law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
6.Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be held for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called only by the chairman of the board, by the chief executive officer, by the president, or by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire board of directors. At a special meeting of the stockholders, no business shall be transacted and no corporate action shall be taken other than that stated in the notice of the 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 (a) by or at the direction of the board of directors or (b) provided that the board of directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any stockholder of the corporation who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this bylaw and at the time of the special meeting, (ii) is entitled to vote at the meeting, and (iii) complies with the notice procedures set forth in these bylaws as to such nomination. In the event the corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the board of directors, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by subparagraph 5.2 (a)(2) of these bylaws with respect to any nomination (including the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by subparagraph 5.3 of these bylaws) shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such special meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such special meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made 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 any



adjournment or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
The “call” and the “notice” of any such meeting shall be deemed to be synonymous.
7.Voting. At all meetings of stockholders, every stockholder having the right to vote shall be entitled to vote in person, or by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said meeting, unless said instrument shall provide for a longer period. Unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation or resolutions adopted by the board of directors in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote at such meeting registered in his or her name on the books of the corporation. At all meetings of stockholders the voting may be otherwise than by ballot, including the election of directors, except that, unless otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, any qualified voter may demand a vote by ballot on any matter, in which event such vote shall be taken by ballot.
Subject to subparagraph 5.2 above, stockholders shall elect directors of the corporation at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, by the holders of outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at any time before the election, the stockholders shall instead elect the directors by a plurality vote.
8.Quorum. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of any business, except as otherwise provided by law, by the certificate of incorporation, or by these bylaws. Every decision of a majority in amount of stock of such quorum shall be valid as a corporate act, except in those specific instances in which a larger vote is required by law or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws.
If the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote are not present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders, the holders of a majority of the stock present in person or by proxy at such meeting or the chairman of such meeting shall have power successively to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a specified time and place, if any, or the means of remote communication, if any, without notice to anyone other than by announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present in person or by proxy, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting which was adjourned. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after 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.
9.Stock Ledger. The original or duplicate stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required under paragraph 10 of these



bylaws or the books of the corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders.
10.Stockholders, Lists. The secretary or assistant secretary of the corporation, who shall have charge of the stock ledger, shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either (a) 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; or (b) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list was provided in the notice of meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a place, the 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. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open for inspection by any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting as provided by applicable law.
11.Notice. Written or printed notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes thereof, and means of remote communication, if any, for each meeting, shall be given to each stockholder of record of the corporation entitled to vote at such meeting in writing in a manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when it is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation.
12.Stockholder Action; How Taken. No action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied.
13.Procedure and Conduct of Meetings.
        13.1 Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the chairman of the board, if any, or in his or her absence by the vice chairman of the board, if any, or in his or her absence by the chairman of the nominating, governance and public policy committee, if any, or in his or her absence by the chief executive officer, if any, or in his or her absence, by the president, if any, or in his or her absence by an executive vice president, if any, or in his or her absence by a senior vice president, if any, or in his or her absence by a vice president, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting by the vote of a majority in interest of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereat.

14.Management. The property, business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of a board of directors. The number of directors of the corporation (including directors to be elected by the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock voting separately as a class or classes) shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board of directors. As used in these bylaws, the terms “whole board” or “whole board of directors” mean the total number of directors which the corporation would have if there were no vacancies. In addition to the powers and authorities by these bylaws and the certificate of incorporation expressly conferred upon it, the board of directors may exercise all such powers of the corporation, and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the certificate of incorporation or by these bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
15.Classes. TheUntil the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the members of the whole board of directors, other than those who may be elected by the holders of any Preferred Stock or series thereof, shall be divided into three (3) classes (to be designated as Class I, Class II and Class III), with the term of office of one class expiring each year.). Each director elected at or prior to the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to serve as a member of the class of directors to which he or she was so elected for the term elected. Subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect directors, each person elected as a director of the Corporation at any annual meeting of stockholders after the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders to succeed a person whose term of office as a director has expired, shall be elected for a term



expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. At and after the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors shall no longer be classified with respect to the time for which they hold office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders. Subject toNotwithstanding the foregoing, at each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to the class of directors whose termdirector shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting and until their respective successors shall bea successor has been elected andor qualified or until their respectivehis or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.
16.Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Except for directorships created pursuant to paragraph FOURTH of the certificate of incorporation relating to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, and except for vacancies in such directorships, any vacancies in the board of directors for any reason, and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than quorum, or by a sole remaining director, unless it is otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, and thefrom and after the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders any directors so chosen shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. In the event of any increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors prior to the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders: (a) each director then serving shall nevertheless continue as a director of the class of which he or she is a member until the expiration of his or her term or his or her prior death, retirement, resignation or removal; (b) except to the extent that an increase or decrease in the authorized number of directors occurs in connection with the rights of holders of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the newly created or eliminated directorships resulting from any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the board of directors among the class or classes as nearly equal in number as the then total number of directors constituting the whole board of directors permits; and (c) a director elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in the number of directors will have the same remaining term as that of the other directors in the class to which he or she is appointed. A director who fills a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors shall have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.
17.Removal of Directors. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these bylaws (and notwithstanding the fact that some lesser percentage may be specified by law or these bylaws), prior to the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Total Voting Power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, considered for this purpose as one class (for purposes of this paragraph 17, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to



paragraph FOURTH of the corporation’s certificate of incorporation). From and after the election of directors at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders when the board of directors shall cease to be classified, any director or the entire board of directors of the corporation may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. For the purposes of this paragraph 17, (i) the term “Total Voting Power” shall mean the aggregate of all votes of all outstanding shares of Voting Stock; and (ii) the term “Voting Stock” shall mean the shares of all classes of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote on removal of any director or the entire board of directors in the manner provided in this paragraph 17 (except that if the next succeeding sentence is operative, then the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall not be considered “Voting Stock” for purposes of this paragraph 17). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of the corporation, the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 17 shall not apply with respect to the director or directors elected by such holders of Preferred Stock.
As used in these bylaws, the term “for cause” is hereby exclusively defined and limited to mean conviction of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction where such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal, or an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of liability for negligence, or misconduct, in the performance of the director’s duty to the corporation in a matter of substantial importance to the corporation, where such adjudication is no longer subject to direct appeal.
18.Notification of Nominations. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors or by any stockholder entitled to generally vote in the election of directors at the meeting of the stockholders at which directors will be elected. However, any such stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors at a meeting only if written notice of such stockholder complies with the requirements set forth in paragraph 5 of these bylaws. The chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.
19.Director Acceptance of Office. Every director of the corporation, upon his or her election, shall qualify by accepting the office of director, and his or her attendance at, or his or her written approval of the minutes of, any meeting of the board subsequent to his election shall constitute his or her acceptance of such office; or he or she may execute such acceptance by a separate writing, which shall be placed in the minute book.
20.Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the board of directors may be held without notice at such times and places either within or without the State of Delaware as shall from time to time be fixed by resolution adopted by the whole board of directors. Any business may be transacted at a regular meeting.
21.Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, the vice chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the



president, any executive vice president or the secretary, or by any two (2) or more of the directors. The place may be within or without the State of Delaware as designated in the notice.
22.Notice of Special Meetings. Written or printed notice of each special meeting of the board, stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be mailed to each director addressed to him or her at his or her residence or usual place of business at least three (3) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held, or shall be sent to him or her by means of electronic transmission, or delivered to him or her personally, at least two (2) days before the day on which the meeting is to be held. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when it is deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon addressed to the director at his or her residence or usual place of business. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be given: (1) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the director has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the director has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the director of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the director. The notice may be given by any officer having authority to call the meeting. “Notice” and “call” with respect to such meetings shall be deemed to be synonymous. Any meeting of the board of directors shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given if all directors shall be present.
23.Meetings by Conference Telephone or Similar Communications Equipment. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors of the corporation, or any committee designated by the board, may participate in a meeting of the board or committee by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting by that means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
24.Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a majority of the total number of directors shall be necessary at all meetings to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as may be otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the board of directors.
If at least two (2) directors or one third (1/3) of the whole board of directors, whichever is greater, is present at any meeting at which a quorum is not present, a majority of the directors present at such meeting shall have power successively to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a subsequent date, without notice to any director other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original meeting which was adjourned.
25.Standing or Temporary Committees. The board of directors may, by resolution or resolutions passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one (1) or more committees, each committee to consist of one (1) or more directors of the corporation. The board may designate



one (1) or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the board of directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the board of directors or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the board of directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation, and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority of the board of directors with respect to amending the certificate of incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, amending the bylaws of the corporation, declaring a dividend or making any other distribution to the stockholders, authorizing the issuance of equity otherwise than pursuant to the grant or exercise of an equity award under employee equity incentive plans of the corporation, or appointing any member of any committee of the board of directors.
Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the board of directors. Unless the board of directors provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee. All committees so appointed shall, unless otherwise provided by the board of directors, keep regular minutes of the transactions at their meetings and shall cause them to be recorded in books kept for that purpose in the office of the corporation and shall report the same to the board of directors at its next meeting. The secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation may act as secretary of the committee if the committee so requests.
26.Compensation. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, the board of directors may, by resolution, fix the compensation to be paid directors for serving as directors of the corporation and may, by resolution, fix a sum which shall be allowed and paid for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may provide for reimbursement of expenses incurred by directors in attending each meeting; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving his or her regular compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed similar compensation for attending committee meetings.
27.Resignations. Any director may resign at any time upon written notice to the corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the corporation if no time is specified therein; and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
28.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.



(a) Indemnification in Actions by Third Parties. The corporation shall indemnify each person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer or director of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise against all liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, judgments, amounts paid in settlement (provided that such settlement and all amounts paid in connection therewith are approved in advance by the corporation in accordance with paragraph (d) of this paragraph 28, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), attorneys’ fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines and other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that the corporation shall not be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any such person or person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The termination of any such action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or under a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that he had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
(b) Indemnification in Derivative Actions. The corporation shall indemnify each person who has been or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer of director of the corporation or is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise against amounts paid in settlement thereof (provided that such settlement and all amounts paid in connection therewith are approved in advance by the corporation in accordance with subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 28, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this subparagraph (b) shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action, suit or proceeding is brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view



of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.
(c) Indemnification for Expenses. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this paragraph 28, to the extent that a person who is or was serving as a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28 (including the dismissal of any such action, suit or proceeding without prejudice), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith.
(d) Determination of Right to Indemnification. Prior to indemnifying a person pursuant to the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28, unless ordered by a court and except as otherwise provided by subparagraph (c) of this paragraph 28, the corporation shall determine that such person has met the specified standard of conduct entitling such person to indemnification as set forth under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28. Any determination that a person shall or shall not be indemnified under the provisions of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this paragraph 28 shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or if such quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or by the stockholders, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the corporation; provided, however, that in the event such determination is adverse to the person or persons to be indemnified hereunder, such person or persons shall have the right to maintain an action in any court of competent jurisdiction against the corporation to determine whether or not such person has met the requisite standard of conduct and is entitled to such indemnification hereunder. If such court action is successful and the person or persons is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, such person or persons shall be reimbursed by the corporation for all fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action (including without limitation the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action).
(e) Advancement of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by a person who may be entitled to indemnification hereunder in defending an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or appellate, 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 such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by (i) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding for which the advancement is



requested, (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders, that, based upon the facts known to the board, counsel or stockholders at the time such determination is made, such person acted in bad faith and in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that such person believed or had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In no event shall any advance be made in instances where the board, stockholders or independent legal counsel reasonably determines that such person deliberately breached his or her duty to the corporation or its stockholders.
(f) Non-Exclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this paragraph 28 shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, under the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, policy of insurance or otherwise, both as to action in their official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding their respective offices, and shall not limit in any way any right which the corporation may have to make additional indemnifications with respect to the same or different persons or classes of persons. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this paragraph 28 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and estate of such a person.
(g) Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the board of directors, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any 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 this paragraph.
(h) Vesting of Rights. The rights granted by this paragraph 28 shall be vested in each person entitled to indemnification hereunder as a bargained-for, contractual condition of such person’s acceptance of his election or appointment as a director or officer of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director of officer of any Other Enterprise and while this paragraph 28 may be amended or repealed, no such amendment or repeal shall release, terminate or adversely affect the rights of such person under this paragraph 28 with respect to any act taken or the failure to take any act by such person prior to such amendment or repeal or with respect to any action, suit or proceeding with respect to such act or failure to act filed after such amendment or repeal.
(i) Definition of the “Corporation”. For purposes of this paragraph 28, references to “the corporation” shall, if and only if the board of directors shall determine,



include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers or persons serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this paragraph 28 with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(j) Certain Definitions. For the purpose of this paragraph 28, references to “Other Enterprises” or “Other Enterprise” shall include without limitation any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; references to “defense” shall include investigations of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding as well as appeals thereof and shall also include any defensive assertion of a cross claim or counterclaim and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director or officer of a corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this paragraph 28. For the purpose of this paragraph 28, unless the board of directors of the corporation shall determine otherwise, any director or officer of the corporation who shall serve as an officer or director of any Other Enterprise of which the corporation, directly or indirectly, is a stockholder or creditor, or in which the corporation is in any way interested, shall be presumed to be serving as such director or officer at the request of the corporation. In all other instances where any person shall serve as a director or officer of an Other Enterprise, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving as such director or officer at the request of the corporation, the board of directors of the corporation shall determine whether such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual or prior request for such service, which determination shall be final and binding on the corporation and the person seeking indemnification.
(k) Severability. If any provision of this paragraph 28 or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the remaining provisions of this paragraph 28 and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and to the fullest extent possible the court finding such provision invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall modify and construe the provision so as to render it valid and enforceable as against all persons or entities and to give the maximum possible protection to persons subject to indemnification hereby within the bounds of validity, legality and



enforceability. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any officer or director of the corporation or any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any Other Enterprise, is entitled under any provision of this paragraph 28, to indemnification by the corporation for some or a portion of the judgments, amounts paid in settlement, attorneys’ fees, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, fines or other expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (including without limitation, the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such action, suit or proceeding), whether civil, criminal, or administrative, investigative or appellate, but not, however, for all of the total amount thereof, the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify such person for the portion thereof to which such person is entitled.
29.Action without a Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if written consent thereto is signed by all members of the board of directors or of such committee, as the case may be, and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee.

In the absence of the secretary or in the event of a vacancy in such office or the inability or refusal of the secretary to act, any assistant secretary may perform the duties and exercise the powers of the secretary until the board otherwise provides. Assistant secretaries of the corporation shall perform such other duties and have such other authority as the board of directors, chief executive officer or president may from time to time prescribe.
38.The Treasurer and Assistant Treasurers. The treasurer shall have responsibility for the safekeeping of the funds and securities of the corporation, and shall disburse, or permit to be disbursed, the funds of the corporation. He or she shall deposit or cause to be deposited all moneys and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit of the corporation in such depositories as may be designated by the board of directors or by any officer of the corporation to whom such authority has been granted by the board. The treasurer shall also perform the other duties and have such other authority as the board of directors, chief executive officer or president may from time to time prescribe.
In the absence of the treasurer or in the event of a vacancy in such office or the inability or refusal of the treasurer to act, any assistant treasurer may perform the duties and exercise the powers of the treasurer until the board otherwise provides. Assistant treasurers of the corporation shall perform such other duties and have such other authority as the board of directors, chief executive officer or president may from time to time prescribe.
39.Duties of Officers May be Delegated. If any officer of the corporation be absent or unable to act, or for any other reason that the board may deem appropriate, the board may delegate, from the time being, some or all of the functions, duties, powers and responsibilities of any such officer to any other officer, or to any other agent or employee of the corporation or other responsible person, provided a majority of the whole board concurs.



40.Removal. Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the board of directors, and any employee, may be removed or discharged by the board, with or without cause, whenever in its judgment the best interests of the corporation would be served thereby, but such removal or discharge shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed or discharged.
41.Salaries and Compensation. Salaries and compensation of all officers of the corporation appointed by the board shall be fixed, increased or decreased by the board of directors, but this power, except as to the salary or compensation of the chief executive officer, may, unless prohibited by law, be delegated by the board to the chief executive officer or the president, or may be delegated to a committee. Salaries and compensation of all other officers, agents and employees of the corporation may be fixed, increased or decreased by the board of directors, but until action is taken with respect thereto by the board of directors, the same may be fixed, increased or decreased by the chief executive officer or such other officer or officers as may be empowered by the board of directors or the chief executive officer or the president to do so.
42.Delegation of Authority to Hire, Discharge and Designate Duties. The board of directors from time to time may delegate to the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or other officer or executive employee of the corporation, authority to hire, discharge and fix and modify the duties, salary or other compensation of employees of the corporation under their jurisdiction, and the board may delegate to such officer or executive employee similar authority with respect to obtaining and retaining for the corporation the services of attorneys, accountants and other experts.
43.Voting Securities Owned by the Corporation. Powers of attorney, proxies, waivers of notice of meeting, consents and other instruments relating to securities owned by the corporation may be executed in the name of and on behalf of the corporation by the chief executive officer, the president, the secretary, any executive or senior vice president or any other person authorized by the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the president, and any such officer may, in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, take all such action as any such officer deems advisable to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of security holders of any entity in which the corporation owns securities and at any such meeting will possess and may exercise any and all rights and power incident to the ownership of such securities and which, as the owner thereof, the corporation might have exercised and possessed if present. The board of directors may, by resolution, from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.
44.Execution Authority. Except as otherwise restricted by law, the corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws, all bonds, promissory notes, contracts, agreements, deeds, mortgages, leases, guarantees, loans, commitments, obligations, liabilities and other instruments to be made or executed for or on behalf of the corporation shall be executed on behalf of the corporation by (a) the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer or secretary, (b) any executive or senior vice president or such other officer or employee of the corporation authorized by the chief executive officer,



president, chief financial officer or secretary, with such limitations or restrictions on such authority as he or she deems appropriate, or (c) such other person as may be authorized by the board of directors, and, if required, the seal of the corporation shall be thereto affixed and attested by the secretary or assistant secretary. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the board of directors, such duly authorized officers of the corporation may delegate such powers to others under his or her jurisdiction, it being understood, however, that any such delegation of power shall not relieve such officer of responsibility with respect to the exercise of such delegated power.
Stock
45.Shares of Stock. The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificated or uncertificated stock. The shares of stock shall be issued in numerical order. Stockholders shall not be entitled to receive a certificate to evidence share ownership. The board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary shall, at their discretion, determine whether shares shall be issued in certificated or uncertificated form. To the extent that shares are represented by certificates, such certificates of stock shall be signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the chairman of the board, chief executive officer or the president or a vice president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares represented by such certificate. Any of or all the signatures on such certificate may be a facsimile, engraved or printed. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile, engraved or printed signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been used thereon, had not ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar of the corporation.
46.Transfers of Stock. Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the stock transfer books of the corporation, kept at the office of the corporation or of the transfer agent designated to transfer the class of stock, and before a new certificate, provided such shares are represented by a certificate, is issued or a transfer of stock is effectuated, the old certificate (if such shares were initially issued in certificated form) shall be surrendered for cancellation. Until and unless the board appoints some other person, firm or corporation as its transfer agent (and upon the revocation of any such appointment, thereafter until a new appointment is similarly made), the secretary shall be the transfer agent of the corporation without the necessity of any formal action of the board, and the secretary, or any person designated by him or her, shall perform all of the duties thereof.
47.Registered Stockholders. Only registered stockholders shall be entitled to be treated by the corporation as the holders and owners in fact of the shares standing in their respective names, and the corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as expressly provided by applicable federal law or by the laws of Delaware.



48.Lost Certificates. The board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary may direct that certificated stock be cancelled and the stock reissued as either certificated or uncertificated stock, in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate or certificates to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issuance of a replacement certificate or certificates or the recording of uncertificated stock, the board of directors, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president or secretary may, in their discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation and its transfer agents and registrars, if any, a bond in such sum as it may direct to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the certificate or certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed or with respect to the issuance of such new certificate, certificates or uncertificated stock.
49.Regulations. The board of directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, conversion and registration of certificated or uncertificated shares of stock of the corporation, not inconsistent with the laws of Delaware, the certificate of incorporation of the corporation and these bylaws.
50.Fixing Record Date. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, if such action is authorized, 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 (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. 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.
Dividends and Finance
51.Dividends. Dividends upon the outstanding shares of stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and of any applicable law and of these bylaws, may be declared by the board of directors at any meeting. Subject to such provisions, dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of stock of the corporation.
52.Creation of Reserves. The directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose or may abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.
53.Depositories. The moneys of the corporation shall be deposited in the name of the corporation in such bank or banks or other depositories as the board of directors shall designate,



and shall be drawn out only by check signed by persons designated by resolution adopted by the board of directors, except that the board of directors may delegate said powers in the manner hereinafter provided in this paragraph 48. The board of directors may by resolution authorize an officer or officers of the corporation to designate any bank or banks or other depositories in which moneys of the corporation may be deposited, and to designate the persons who may sign checks drawn on any particular account or accounts of the corporation, whether created by direct designation of the board of directors or by an authorized officer or officers as aforesaid.
54.Fiscal Year. The board of directors shall have power to fix and from time to time change the fiscal year of the corporation. In the absence of action by the board of directors, the fiscal year of the corporation shall end each year on the date which the corporation treated as the close of its first fiscal year, until such time, if any, as the fiscal year shall be changed by the board of directors.
55.Directors, Annual Statement. The board of directors may present at each annual meeting of the stockholders, and when called for by vote of the stockholders shall present to any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, a full and clear statement of the business and condition of the corporation.
Books and Records
56.Books, Accounts and Records. The books, accounts and records of the corporation, except as may be otherwise required by the laws of the State of Delaware, may be kept outside of the State of Delaware, at such place or places as the board of directors may from time to time determine. The board of directors shall determine whether, to what extent and the conditions upon which the books, accounts and records of the corporation, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders, and no stockholder shall have any right to inspect any book, account or record of the corporation, except as conferred by law or by resolution of the stockholders or directors.
Miscellaneous
57.Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or of these bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said 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 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 these bylaws.
58.Amendments. These bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, or new bylaws may be adopted, in the manner provided in the certificate of incorporation.



59.Business Combinations. The corporation shall not be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
