The name of the corporation’s registered agent at such address shall be Corporation Service Company. The registered office or registered agent of the corporation may be changed from time to time by action of the board of directors on the filing of a certificate or certificates as required by law.
          Section 2. Other Offices. The corporation may also have offices at such other places, both within and without the State of Delaware, as the board of directors may from time to time determine or the business of the corporation may require.
ARTICLE II — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
          Section 1. Place and Time of Meetings. An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held each year, beginning in the year 2008, prior to the last day of September. At such meeting, the stockholders shall elect the directors of the corporation and conduct such other business as may come before the meeting. The time and place of the annual meeting shall be determined by the board of directors. Special meetings of the stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the president or the chairman of the board for any purpose and shall be called by the secretary if directed in writing by two or more members of the board of directors or the holders of more than 10% of the outstanding stock and stating the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. The board of directors may elect to hold a meeting of the stockholders solely by means of remote communications.
          Section 2. Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take action at a meeting, written or printed notice of every annual or special meeting of the stockholders, stating the place, date, time, and, in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes, of such meeting, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. All such notices shall be delivered, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the board of directors, the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president or the secretary, and if mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail with

 


 

postage prepaid and addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to the stockholders, any notice given by the corporation to the stockholders shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (a) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (b) such inability becomes known to the corporation’s secretary, an assistant secretary, transfer agent or other person responsible for giving such notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice, (iii) if by posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice, and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
          Section 3. Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of the statutes 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, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting of stockholders shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the stockholder 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 or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.
          Section 4. Stockholders List. The officer having charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall make, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list arranged in alphabetical order of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, specifying the address of 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 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
          Section 5. Quorum; Adjourned Meetings. The presence of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast on a matter to be acted upon at a meeting of the stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of consideration and action on the matter, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present, the holders of the shares present in

- 2 -


 

person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereat shall have the power, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of such shares, to adjourn the meeting to another time or place. Unless the adjournment is for more than thirty days or unless a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting need be given to any stockholder, provided that the time and place of the adjourned meeting were announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.
          Section 6. Vote Required. When a quorum is present or represented by proxy at any meeting, the vote of a majority of the votes cast by all stockholders entitled to vote and, if any stockholders are entitled to vote as a class, the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote as a class, whether such stockholders are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable statute or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
          Section 7. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law or by the certificate of incorporation of the corporation or any amendments thereto and subject to Section 4 of ARTICLE VI hereof, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.
          Section 8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
          Section 9. Action Without Meeting. Any action required by law or these bylaws to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. The record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is necessary, shall be the date on which the first written consent is expressed. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this Section 9, provided, that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (a) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder, and (b) the date on which such stockholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be

- 3 -


 

deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided, that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

Such notice shall state the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting but need not state the purpose thereof, except as otherwise herein expressly provided. A written waiver of notice signed by the director entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be equivalent to notice.

In the event that any provision of these bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the certificate of incorporation, the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law, the provision of these bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.
ARTICLE VIII — INTERESTED DIRECTORS
          No contract or transaction between this Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between this Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if:
          (a) The material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors may be less than a quorum; or
          (b) The material facts as to such director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or
          (c) The contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.
          Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorized the contract or transaction.
ARTICLE IX — AMENDMENTS
          These bylaws may be amended, altered or repealed and new bylaws adopted at any meeting of the board of directors by a majority vote, provided that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock of the corporation then entitled to vote shall be required to adopt any provision inconsistent with, or to amend or repeal any provision of, Section 2 or 4 of ARTICLE III or this ARTICLE IX. The fact that the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the bylaws has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the same powers.
