ARTICLE ONE.

MEETINGS OF THE SHAREHOLDERS

Section 1.1.Annual Meeting. The annual meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of the shareholders of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (the “Company”) shall be held at such time and place as shall be fixed by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) or a duly authorized committee thereof, for the purpose of electing directors (“Directors”) to the Board of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting. The Board of Directors may determine that the Annual Meeting may be held wholly or partially by means of remote communication as authorized by the Georgia Business Corporation Code (as amended from time to time, the “Code”). The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled Annual Meeting for any reason.

Section 1.2.Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be held at the principal office of the Company or at such other place as may be named in the call therefor. The Board of Directors may determine that a special meeting of the shareholders may be held wholly or partially by means of remote communication as authorized by the Code. Such special meetings may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Vice Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Board of Directors by vote at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a majority of the Directors in writing without a meeting. Such special meetings may be also called by the holders of one hundred percent (100%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting, if such holders sign, date, and deliver to the Company one or more demands in writing or by electronic transmission for the meeting describing the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled special meeting for any reason.

Section 1.3.Notice of Meetings. Unless waived in accordance with the Code, a notice of each meeting of shareholders stating the date, time and place of the meeting shall be given not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date thereof to each shareholder entitled to vote at that meeting. In the case of an Annual Meeting, the notice need not state the purpose or purposes of the meeting unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Code requires the purpose or purposes to be stated in the notice of the meeting. Any irregularity in such notice shall not affect the validity of the Annual Meeting or any action taken at such meeting. In the case of a special meeting of the shareholders, the notice of meeting shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and only business within the purpose or purposes described in such notice may be conducted at the meeting.

Section 1.4.Voting Groups. “Voting group” as used in these Bylaws means all shares of one or more classes or series that are entitled to vote and be counted together collectively on a matter at a meeting of shareholders. All shares entitled to vote generally on the matter are for that purpose a single voting group.

- 1 -

Section 1.5.Quorum. With respect to shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group on a matter at a meeting of shareholders, the presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group shall constitute a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Code provides otherwise. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than solely to object to holding the meeting or to transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of the meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting pursuant to Section 1.11.

Section 1.6.Vote Required for Action. If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of Directors) is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation, provisions of these Bylaws validly adopted by the shareholders, or the Code requires a greater number of affirmative votes. If the Articles of Incorporation or the Code provide for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately.

Section 1.7.Adjournments. Whether or not a quorum is present to organize a meeting, any meeting of shareholders (including an adjourned meeting) may be adjourned by the presiding officer, the Board of Directors or the holders of a majority of the voting shares represented at the meeting to reconvene at a specific time and place, but no later than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting unless the requirements of the Code concerning the selection of a new record date have been met.

Section 1.8.Presiding Officer. The Chairman of the Board of Directors shall call the meeting of the shareholders to order and shall act as chair of such meeting (the “presiding officer”). In the absence of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the meeting shall be called to order by any one of the following officers then present, in the following order: the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Corporate Executive Vice President, or any Corporate Senior Vice President, who shall act as the presiding officer. The Secretary of the Company shall act as secretary of the meeting of the shareholders. In the absence of the Secretary, at any meeting of the shareholders, the presiding officer may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Section 1.9.Voting of Shares. Unless the Articles of Incorporation or the Code provides otherwise, each outstanding share having voting rights shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 1.10.Proxies. A shareholder entitled to vote pursuant to Section 1.9 may vote in person or by proxy pursuant to an appointment of proxy executed by the shareholder either in writing or pursuant to an electronic or telephonic transmission, provided that the transmission contains or is accompanied by information from which it can be determined that the shareholder authorized the transmission. An appointment of proxy shall be valid for only one meeting to be specified therein, and any adjournments of such meeting, but shall not be valid for more than 11 months unless expressly provided therein. Appointments of proxy shall be dated and filed with the records of the meeting to which they relate.

Section 1.11.Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of a meeting of the shareholders, to demand a special meeting, to vote, or to take any other action, the Board of Directors may fix a future date as the record date, which date shall be not more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring a determination of the shareholders, is to be taken. A determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the shareholders is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more

- 2 -

than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the 70th day preceding the date on which the particular action, requiring a determination of the shareholders, is to be taken shall be the record date for that purpose.

Section 1.12.Shareholder Proposals and Nominations.

(a)No proposal for a shareholder vote shall be submitted by a shareholder (a “Shareholder Proposal”) to the Company’s shareholders unless the Proposing Person (as defined below) shall have filed a written notice setting forth with particularity (i) a description of the Shareholder Proposal containing all material information relating thereto; (ii) the text of the Shareholder Proposal (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and if such business includes a Shareholder Proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment); (iii) the reasons for proposing such Shareholder Proposal at the meeting; (iv) any material interest in such Shareholder Proposal of any Proposing Person; (v) all other information relating to such Shareholder Proposal that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by any Proposing Person in connection with the contested solicitation of proxies in support of such Shareholder Proposal or that would otherwise be required, in each case pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, whether or not any Proposing Person intends to deliver a proxy statement or conduct a proxy solicitation; and (vi) such other information as the Board of Directors reasonably determines is necessary or appropriate to enable the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company to consider the Shareholder Proposal. This Section 1.12 is not intended to apply to, and shall not be deemed to restrict any rights of shareholders with respect to, proposals made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are included in the Company’s proxy statement.

(b)Only persons who are selected and recommended by the Board of Directors or the committee of the Board of Directors designated to make nominations, or who are properly nominated by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12 or Section 2.12 (Proxy Access), shall be eligible for election, or qualified to serve, as Directors. Nominations of individuals pursuant to this Section 1.12 for election to the Board of Directors of the Company at any Annual Meeting or any special meeting of shareholders at which Directors are to be elected may be made by any shareholder of the Company entitled to vote for the election of Directors at that meeting by compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12. Nominations by shareholders pursuant to this Section 1.12 shall be made by written notice (a “Nomination Notice”), which shall set forth or provide as to each person, if any, whom the shareholder giving notice under this Section 1.12 (the “Noticing Shareholder”) proposes to nominate for election as a Director (each, a “Proposed Nominee”): (i) the name, date of birth, business address and residence address of such Proposed Nominee; (ii) the business experience during the past five years of such Proposed Nominee, including such Proposed Nominee’s principal occupations and employment during such period, the name and principal business of any corporation or other organization in which such occupations and employment were carried on, and such other information as to the nature of such Proposed Nominee’s responsibilities and level of professional competence as may be sufficient to permit assessment of such prior business experience; (iii) whether such Proposed Nominee is or has ever been at any time a director, officer or owner of five percent (5%) or more of any class of capital stock, partnership interests or other equity interest of any corporation, partnership or other entity; (iv) any directorships held by such Proposed Nominee in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (v) whether such Proposed Nominee has ever been convicted in a criminal proceeding or has ever been subject to a judgment, order, finding or decree of any federal, state or other governmental entity, concerning any violation of federal,

Subject to Section 1.3 as to matters that may be acted upon at a special meeting of the shareholders, if a Shareholder Proposal or Nomination Notice is to be submitted at a special meeting of the shareholders, it shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive office of the Company no later than the close of business on the earlier of (i) the 30th day following the public announcement that a matter will be submitted to a vote of the shareholders at a special meeting, or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which notice of the special meeting was given. In no event shall an adjournment, postponement or rescheduling of a special meeting (or the public announcement thereof) commence a new period (or extend any period) for the giving of a Nomination Notice as described above.

(e)To be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a Director of the Company, whether at an Annual Meeting or a special meeting of the shareholders, a Proposed Nominee must deliver (in accordance with the periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Sections 1.12(d) and 2.12(b), as requested in Sections 1.12(e) and 2.12(e)(v), as applicable) to the Secretary a completed written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such Proposed Nominee completed by such Proposed Nominee in the form required by the Company (which form the Noticing Shareholder shall request in writing from the Secretary prior to submitting notice and which the Secretary shall provide to such Noticing Shareholder within ten (10) days after receiving such request) and a written representation and agreement completed by such Proposed Nominee in the form required by the Company (which form the Noticing Shareholder shall request in writing from the Secretary prior to submitting notice and which the Secretary shall provide to the Noticing Shareholder within ten (10) days after receiving such request) that such Proposed Nominee (i) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such Proposed Nominee, if elected as Director, will act or vote on any issue or question to be decided by the Board of Directors or that otherwise relates to the Company or such Proposed Nominee’s service on the Board of Directors (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Company or any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such Proposed Nominee’s ability to comply, if elected as Director, with such Proposed Nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law; (ii) is not and will not become a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person other than with the Company, including any agreement to indemnify such Proposed

- 6 -

Nominee for obligations arising as a result of such Proposed Nominee’s service as Director, in connection with such Proposed Nominee’s Nomination Notice, service or action as Director that has not been disclosed to the Company; (iii) will, if elected as Director, comply with all applicable laws and stock exchange listing standards, the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws and the Company’s policies, guidelines and principles applicable to Directors, including, without limitation, the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and confidentiality, share ownership and trading policies and guidelines, and any other codes, policies and guidelines or any rules, regulations and listing standards, in each case as applicable to Directors, and all applicable fiduciary duties under state law; (iv) intends to serve a full term as a Director, if elected; (v) will tender, promptly following such Proposed Nominee’s election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon such Proposed Nominee’s failure to receive the required vote for reelection at any future meeting of shareholders at which such Proposed Nominee may face reelection and upon acceptance of such resignation by the Board of Directors; and (vi) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Company and its shareholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects, and that do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(f)General.

(i)The number of nominees a Noticing Shareholder may nominate for election at a meeting of shareholders shall not exceed the number of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

(ii)Except as otherwise provided by law or in these Bylaws, the presiding officer at a meeting of the shareholders shall have the power and duty (A) to determine whether a Nomination Notice or Shareholder Proposal was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.12, and (B) if any Nomination Notice or Shareholder Proposal was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 1.12, to declare that such Nomination Notice shall be disregarded or that such Shareholder Proposal shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.12, unless otherwise required by law, if the Noticing Shareholder (or a Qualified Representative thereof) does not appear at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of shareholders of the Company to present a Nomination Notice or Shareholder Proposal, such Nomination Notice shall be disregarded and such Shareholder Proposal shall not be considered, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company.

(iii)The Board of Directors may request that any Proposing Person and any Proposed Nominee furnish such additional information as may be reasonably required by the Board of Directors. Such Proposing Person and/or Proposed Nominee shall provide such additional information within ten (10) days after it has been requested by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may require any Proposed Nominee to submit to interviews with the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, and such Proposed Nominee shall make himself or herself available for any such interviews within no less than ten (10) business days following the date of such request. A Proposing Person shall update its Nomination Notice or Shareholder Proposal, as applicable, and any other information provided to the Company so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct as of the record date of the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof, and such update shall be delivered in writing to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business ten (10) days after the record date of the meeting (in the case of the update required to be made as of the record date), and not later than the close of business eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned, postponed or rescheduled) (in the case of the update required to be made as of ten

- 7 -

(10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Noticing Shareholder no longer plans to solicit holders of shares of the Company in accordance with its representation pursuant to Section 1.12(c)(xix), such Noticing Shareholder shall inform the Company of this change by delivering a writing to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than two (2) business days after the occurrence of such change. A Noticing Shareholder shall also update its notice so that the information required by Section 1.12(c)(xvi) is current through the date of the meeting or any adjournment, postponement or rescheduling thereof, and such update shall be delivered in writing to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than two (2) business days after the occurrence of any material change to the information previously disclosed pursuant to Section 1.12(c)(xvi). For the avoidance of doubt, any information provided pursuant to this Section 1.12(f) shall not be deemed to cure any deficiencies in any Nomination Notice provided by a Noticing Shareholder, extend any applicable deadlines under this Section 1.12 or enable or be deemed to permit a Noticing Shareholder to amend or update any Shareholder Proposal or to submit any new Shareholder Proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of shareholders. If a Noticing Shareholder fails to provide any written update in accordance with this Section 1.12(f), the information as to which such written update relates may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with these Bylaws.

Section 2.12Proxy Access.

(a)Whenever the Board of Directors solicits proxies with respect to the election of Directors at an Annual Meeting, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.12 and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall include in its proxy statement for such Annual Meeting, in addition to any persons nominated for election by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, the name, together with the Required Information (as defined below), of any person nominated for election (each such person being hereinafter referred to as a “Shareholder Nominee”) to the Board of Directors by any shareholder or group of no more than twenty (20) shareholders (provided that 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, shall be treated for this purpose as one shareholder) that satisfies the requirements of this Section 2.12 (such individual or group, including as the context requires each member thereof, being hereinafter referred to as the “Eligible Shareholder”), and that expressly elects at the time of providing the notice required by this Section 2.12 (the “Notice of Proxy Access Nomination”) to have its nominee included in the Company’s proxy materials (including the proxy card) pursuant to this Section 2.12. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the “Required Information” that the Company will include in its proxy statement is (i) the information provided to the Secretary of the Company concerning each Shareholder Nominee and Eligible Shareholder that is required to be disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, by these Bylaws, by the Articles of Incorporation and by the listing standards of each principal U.S. securities exchange upon which the common stock of the Company is listed and (ii) if the Eligible Shareholder so elects, a written statement (not to exceed 500 words) in support of the Shareholder Nominee(s)’ candidacy (the “Statement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12, the Company may omit from its proxy materials any information or Statement (or portion thereof) that it, in good faith, believes would violate any applicable law or regulation. The Company or the Board of Directors may include any other information in the proxy materials that it determines, in its discretion, relates to the nomination of the Shareholder Nominee, including, without limitation, any statement in opposition to the nomination and any of the information provided pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(b)If a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is to be submitted at an Annual Meeting, it shall be delivered and received by the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of

- 12 -

the Company not later than one hundred twenty (120) days before, and not earlier than one hundred fifty (150) days before, the first anniversary of the date that the Company’s proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s Annual Meeting. However, if no Annual Meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the Annual Meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination shall be delivered to and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the later to occur of (i) the date that is one hundred fifty (150) days prior to the date of the contemplated Annual Meeting or (ii) the date that is ten (10) days after the date of the first public announcement or other notification to the shareholders of the date of the contemplated Annual Meeting.

(c)The maximum number of Shareholder Nominees nominated by all Eligible Shareholders that will be included in the Company’s proxy materials with respect to an Annual Meeting shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the number of Directors in office as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 2.12 with respect to such Annual Meeting (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”) or, if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number below twenty percent (20%), but not fewer than two. If one or more vacancies for any reason occur on the Board of Directors after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the Annual Meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees included in the Company’s proxy materials shall be calculated based on the number of Directors in office as so reduced. For purposes of determining when the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section 2.12 has been reached, each of the following persons shall be counted as one of the Shareholder Nominees: (i) any Shareholder Nominee who is subsequently withdrawn, (ii) any Shareholder Nominee whom the Board of Directors decides to nominate for election to the Board of Directors, (iii) any Director in office as of the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date who was included in the Company’s proxy materials as a Shareholder Nominee for either of the two preceding Annual Meetings and whose reelection at the upcoming Annual Meeting is being recommended by the Board of Directors and (iv) the number of Directors in office or Director candidates that in either case will be included in the Company’s proxy materials with respect to such Annual Meeting as an unopposed (by the Company) nominee pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or other understanding with any shareholder or group of shareholders (other than any such agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with an acquisition of voting stock, by such shareholder or group of shareholders, from the Company), other than any such Director referred to in this clause (iv) who at the time of such Annual Meeting will have served as a Director continuously, as a nominee of the Board of Directors, for at least two annual terms, but only to the extent the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees after such reduction with respect to this clause (iv) equals or exceeds one. Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall rank such Shareholder Nominees based on the order in which the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials. In the event the total number of Shareholder Nominees exceeds the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section 2.12, the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.12 from each Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, proceeding in order from the largest to the smallest of such Eligible Shareholders based on the number of shares of common stock of the Company each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the Company hereunder. If the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section 2.12 is not reached after the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section 2.12 from each Eligible Shareholder has been selected, the selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the

- 13 -

maximum number is reached. The Shareholder Nominees so selected by each Eligible Shareholder in accordance with this Section 2.12 will be the only Shareholder Nominees entitled to be included in the Company’s proxy materials and, following such selection, if the Shareholder Nominees so selected are not included in the Company’s proxy materials or are not submitted for election (for any reason, including the failure to comply with this Section 2.12), no other Shareholder Nominees will be included in the Company’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for election pursuant to this Section 2.12. If, after the deadline for submitting a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination as set forth in Section 2.12(b), an Eligible Shareholder ceases to satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.12 or withdraws its nomination or a Shareholder Nominee ceases to satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.12 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 Company: (i) shall not be required to include in its proxy materials the disregarded Shareholder Nominee and (ii) may otherwise communicate to its shareholders, including, without limitation, by amending or supplementing its proxy materials, that the Shareholder Nominee will not be included as a Shareholder Nominee in the proxy materials and the election of such Shareholder Nominee will not be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

(d)In order to make a nomination pursuant to this Section 2.12, an Eligible Shareholder must have owned (as defined below) at least three percent (3%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Required Shares”) continuously for at least three years (the “Minimum Holding Period”) as of both the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is delivered to the Secretary of the Company in accordance with this Section 2.12 and the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, and must continue to own the Required Shares through the date of the Annual Meeting. For purposes of this Section 2.12, a shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as to which the shareholder possesses both (i) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (ii) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity to profit from and risk of loss on) such shares; provided, however, that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) shall not include any shares (x) sold by such shareholder or any of its affiliates in a transaction that has not been settled or closed, (y) borrowed by such shareholder or any of its affiliates for any purposes or purchased by such shareholder or its affiliates pursuant to an agreement to resell or (z) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar instrument or agreement entered into by such shareholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding common stock of the Company, if, in any such case, such instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (A) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares and/or (B) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss realized or realizable from maintaining the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder or affiliate. A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of Directors and the right to direct the disposition thereof and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the shareholder and during any period in which the shareholder has loaned such shares; provided that the shareholder has the power to recall such loaned shares on no more than five (5) business days’ notice. The terms “owned,” “owning,” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. No person may be included in more than one group constituting an Eligible Shareholder, and if any person appears as a member of more than one group, such person shall be deemed to be a member of the group that owns the greatest aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock as reflected in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination,

- 14 -

and no shares may be attributed as owned by more than one person constituting an Eligible Shareholder under this Section 2.12.

(e)Within the period specified in this Section 2.12 for delivering the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination, an Eligible Shareholder must provide the following information in writing to the Secretary of the Company:

(i)One or more written statements from the record holder of the Required Shares (and from each intermediary through which the Required Shares are or have been held during the Minimum Holding Period) verifying that, as of a date within seven (7) calendar days prior to the date the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination is delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary of the Company, the Eligible Shareholder owns, and has owned continuously for the Minimum Holding Period, the Required Shares, and the Eligible Shareholder’s agreement to provide, within five (5) business days after the record date for the Annual Meeting, one or more written statements from the record holder and intermediaries verifying the Eligible Shareholder’s continuous ownership of the Required Shares through the record date in a form that satisfies the requirements as established by the SEC for a shareholder proposal under SEC Rule 14a-8 (or any successor rule);

(ii)A copy of Schedule 14N (or any successor form) that has been filed with the SEC as required by SEC Rule 14a-18;

(iii)The information that would be required to be set forth in a shareholder’s notice of nomination if the Eligible Shareholder were presenting the Shareholder Nominee for nomination pursuant to Section 1.12(b);

(iv)An agreement containing agreements, representations and warranties that confirm that the Eligible Shareholder (A) acquired the Required Shares in the ordinary course of business and not with the intent to change or influence control at the Company, and does not presently have such intent, (B) will continue to hold the Required Shares through the date of the Annual Meeting, (C) has not nominated and will not nominate for election for the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting any person other than the Shareholder Nominee(s) it is nominating pursuant to this Section 2.12, (D) has not engaged and will not engage in, and has not and will not be a “participant” in another person’s, “solicitation” within the meaning of SEC Rule 14a-1(l) in support of the election of any individual as a Director at the Annual Meeting other than its Shareholder Nominee(s) or a nominee of the Board of Directors, (E) has not distributed and will not distribute to any shareholder of the Company any form of proxy for the Annual Meeting other than the form distributed by the Company, (F) agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations applicable to the use, if any, of soliciting material, (G) will provide facts, statements and other information in all communications with the Company and its shareholders that are or will be true and correct in all material respects and do not and will not omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (H) assumes all liability stemming from any legal or regulatory violation arising out of the Eligible Shareholder’s communications with the Company, its shareholders or any other person or out of the information that the Eligible Shareholder provided to the Company, in each case in connection with the Eligible Shareholder’s efforts to include its Shareholder Nominee(s) in the Company’s proxy materials or to nominate or elect such Shareholder Nominee(s), (I) indemnifies and holds harmless (jointly and severally with all other group members, in the case of a group member) the Company and each of its Directors, officers and employees individually against any liability, loss, damages, expenses, demands, claims or other costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit or proceeding, whether legal, administrative or investigative, against the Company or any of its Directors, officers or

Section 5.12.Contract Rights.
