If the notice is sent by mail or courier service, it shall be deemed to have been given to the person entitled thereto when deposited in the United States mail or with a courier service for delivery to that person or, in the case of facsimile transmission, e-mail or other electronic communication, when sent. A notice of meeting shall specify the place, if any, day and hour of the meeting and any other information required by any provision of the BCL, the Articles or these Bylaws.
(b)Adjourned shareholder meetings. - When a meeting of shareholders is adjourned, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting or the BCL, the Articles or these Bylaws require notice of the business to be transacted and such notice has not previously been given.
Section 1.02 Notice of meetings of the Board of Directors. - Notice of a regular meeting of the Board of Directors need not be given. Notice of every special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director at least 24 hours (in the case of notice by telephone, e-mail or other electronic communication) or 48 hours (in the case of notice by courier service or express mail) or 5 days (in the case of notice by first class mail) before the time at which the meeting is to be held. Every such notice shall state the time and place, if any, of the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Board need be specified in a notice of the meeting, except as otherwise required by the BCL, the Articles or these Bylaws.
Section 1.03 Notice of meetings of shareholders. - Notice in record form of every meeting of shareholders shall be given by, or at the direction of, the secretary or other authorized person to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting at least 20 days

Except as otherwise required by the BCL, the Articles or these Bylaws, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, a regular meeting need be specified in the waiver of notice of the meeting. Attendance of a person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of the meeting except where a 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 was not lawfully called or convened.

of the Corporation shall be held at such place as designated by the Board of Directors in the notice of the meeting.

Section 2.03 Quorum, adjournment and postponement. -
(a)General rule. - A meeting of shareholders of the Corporation duly called shall not be organized for the transaction of business unless a quorum is present. The presence of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast on a particular matter to be acted upon at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of consideration and action on the matter. Shares of the Corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by it and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Board of Directors, as such, shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares for quorum purposes at any given time.
(b)Withdrawal of a quorum. - The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting can continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
(c)Adjournments generally. - Any regular or special meeting of the shareholders, including one at which directors are to be elected and one which cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, may be adjourned for such period and to such place as the shareholders present and entitled to vote shall direct.
(d)Notice of adjourned virtual meeting. - Subject to applicable law, if notice of an adjourned meeting of shareholders held exclusively by means of electronic technology cannot be given by announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken, notice may be given by means solely of a publicly available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(e)Electing directors at adjourned meeting. - Those shareholders entitled to vote who attend a meeting called for the election of directors that has been previously adjourned for lack of a quorum, although less than a quorum as fixed in this Section 2.03, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors.
(f)Other action in absence of quorum. - Those shareholders entitled to vote who attend a meeting of shareholders that has been previously adjourned for one or more periods aggregating at least 15 days because of an absence of a quorum, although less than a quorum as fixed in this Section 2.03, shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon any matter set forth in the notice of the meeting if the notice states that those shareholders who attend the adjourned meeting shall nevertheless constitute a quorum for the purpose of acting upon the matter.
(g)Postponement of virtual meeting. - If a meeting of shareholders is to be held exclusively by means of electronic technology, as provided in Section 1708(c) of the BCL, and the presiding officer decides in his or her reasonable judgment on the day of the meeting that the meeting cannot be convened because of a reason outside the control of the Corporation, the presiding officer may postpone the meeting to a specified time later that day or the following day. Notice of the postponed meeting may be given by means solely of a publicly available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Section 2.04 Action by shareholders. - Except as otherwise provided in the BCL or the Articles or these Bylaws, whenever any corporate action is to be taken by vote of the shareholders of the Corporation, it shall be authorized upon receiving the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders entitled to vote thereon and, if any shareholders

3


are entitled to vote thereon as a class, upon receiving the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote as a class.
Section 2.05 Advance notice of nominations and proposals. -
(a)    Annual meetings of shareholders. -
(1)Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of business to be considered by the shareholders may be made at an annual meeting of shareholders (A) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, including pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or any supplement thereto, or (B) by any shareholder of the Corporation present in person (as defined below) who was a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.05, on the record date(s) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting and at the time of the annual meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who nominates (in the case of a nomination) a number of candidates that does not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.05(a). Section 2.05(a)(1)(B) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business before an annual meeting of shareholders (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s notice of meeting). If a shareholder is not present in person to present its nomination or proposal, such proposal will be disregarded (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such proposal may have been solicited, obtained or delivered). A shareholder is not entitled to have its nomination or proposal included in the Corporation’s proxy materials as a result of such shareholder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.05, except if such nominees are also submitted in accordance and in compliance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable requirements of state and federal law. For purposes of these Bylaws, “present in person” shall mean that the shareholder proposing that the business or nomination be brought before the meeting, or, if the proposing shareholder is not an individual, a qualified representative of such proposing shareholder, is in attendance at such meeting. For purposes of these Bylaws, to be a “qualified representative” of a shareholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such shareholder or authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the Corporation prior to the meeting stating that such person is authorized to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders.
(2)Subject to Section 2.05(d)(3) of these Bylaws, for nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(1)(B), the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the secretary and such other business must be a proper matter for shareholder action under the Articles, these Bylaws and applicable law and must not be expressly reserved for action by the Board of Directors under the Articles, these Bylaws or applicable law. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 7th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall an adjournment, recess or postponement of an

4


annual meeting (or the public announcement thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. For the avoidance of doubt, a shareholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations or proposals following the expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 2.05(a)(2). To be in proper written form, such shareholder’s notice shall set forth:
(A)as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (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 the election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case 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 proxy materials as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (ii) a reasonably detailed description of all direct and indirect compensation, reimbursement, indemnification, benefits and other agreements, arrangements and understandings (written or oral and formal or informal and whether monetary or non-monetary) during the past 3 years, and any other relationships, between or among any Proposing Person (as defined in Section 2.05(d)(2)), on the one hand, and each proposed nominee, and his or her respective affiliates and associates or any other participants in such solicitation, or others acting in concert (as defined in Section 2.05(d)(2)) therewith, on the other hand, including, without limitation, all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K if the Proposing Person were the “registrant” for purposes of such Item and the nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant, (iii) with respect to each nominee for election or reelection to the Board of Directors, a completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 2.05(c), and (iv) such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility and qualifications of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee;
(B)as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, the reasons why such shareholder or any other Proposing Person believes that the taking of the action or actions proposed to be taken would be in the best interests of the Corporation, any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, including any anticipated benefit to the shareholder or any other Proposing Person therefrom and a description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings between any Proposing Person and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder and any other information relating to such business that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act to be made in connection with the

6


Exchange Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be required to disclose a Derivative Interest held by such shareholder as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such shareholder arising in the ordinary course of such shareholder’s business as a derivatives dealer, (iv) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which any Proposing Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (v) any contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares of stock), the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss, reduce economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) or increase or decrease voting power with respect to any capital stock of the Corporation or which provides any party, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit from any decrease in the price or value of the capital stock of the Corporation, including, without limitation, any “put equivalent position” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) related to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation (any of the foregoing, a “Short Interest”), (vi) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (vii) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Interests held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such Proposing Person is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner and (viii) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such shareholder is entitled to, based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, Derivative Interests, or Short Interests, if any, as of the date of such notice, including, without limitation, any such interests held by members of such Proposing Person’s immediate family sharing the same household, (ix) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such Proposing Person is a party, material participant or has an interest (other than an interest that is substantially the same as all shareholders) involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of the Corporation, (x) any direct or indirect interest (including a Derivative Interest or Short Interest, provided that, solely for purposes of this clause (x), references to the words “Corporation” within the definitions of “Derivative Interest” or “Short Interests” shall be replaced with the words “such affiliate” or “such competitor,” as applicable) of such Proposing Person in any contract or agreement with the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any significant competitor of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (xi) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation, any affiliate of the Corporation or any significant competitor of the Corporation, on the other hand, (xii) any other information relating to such Proposing 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, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (xiii) any other information that would be required to be set forth in a Schedule 13D filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) or an amendment pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) if such a statement were required to be filed under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by such Proposing Person, (xiv) a

7


representation whether the shareholder intends to be present in person at the meeting to propose such business or nomination, (xv) a representation whether the Proposing Person intends or is part of a group which intends (y) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (z) otherwise to engage in or be a participant in a solicitation (within the meaning of Rule 14a-1(l) under the Exchange Act) of proxies in support of such proposal or nomination, and (xvi) a representation regarding whether a Proposing Person or any other person with whom the Proposing Person is acting in concert intends to or will submit, or is part of a group that intends to or will submit, any other proposal at the meeting, and (xvii) a representation regarding whether the Proposing Person intends, or is part of a group that intends, to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and, in the event that a Proposing Person so intends, or is part of a group that so intends, a written agreement (in the form provided by the secretary upon written request), on behalf of such Proposing Person and any group of which it is a member, in which such Proposing Person acknowledges and agrees (w) that it, or the group of which it is a part, intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of the Corporation’s shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of such director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (x) that it shall notify the secretary promptly if any change occurs with respect to the intent of such Proposing Person or the group of which such Proposing Person is a part to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees or with respect to the names of such Proposing Person’s nominees, (y) that if such Proposing Person or the group of which it is a part (1) provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(a)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act and (2) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) and Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act (including with respect to special meetings, if applicable), then the Corporation shall disregard any proxies or votes solicited for such Proposing Person’s nominees, and (z) that, upon request by the Corporation, if such Proposing Person or the group of which it is a part provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(a)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such Proposing Person shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than 5 business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable documentary evidence (as determined by the Corporation or one of its representatives, acting in good faith) that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.1

the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, 5 business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting. In the case of an update and supplement pursuant to clause (i) above, such update and supplement shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than 2 business days after the record date. In the case of the update and supplement pursuant to clause (ii) above, such update and supplement shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation no later than 2 business days prior to the date for the meeting, and, in the event of any adjournment or postponement thereof, 2 business days prior to such adjourned or postponed meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other section of these Bylaws shall not cure or limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a shareholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or under any other provision of these Bylaws or enable or be deemed to permit a shareholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder, or under any other provision of these Bylaws, to amend or update any proposal or nomination or to submit any new proposal or nomination, including, without limitation, by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and/or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of shareholders.
(4)Upon written request by the secretary, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, a shareholder submitting a notice pursuant to this Section 2.05 proposing business or a nomination to be brought before a meeting shall provide, within 5 business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), (A) written verification, satisfactory in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, to any duly authorized committee thereof or any duly authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information submitted by the shareholder (including any information submitted regarding any Proposing Person or any candidate whom a Proposing Person proposes to nominate for election as a director) in the notice delivered pursuant to the requirements of these Bylaws (including, if requested, written confirmation by such shareholder that it continues to intend to bring the business or nomination proposed in the notice before the meeting) and (B) such other information reasonably required by the secretary, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, acting in good faith, to determine compliance with these Bylaws by each Proposing Person or candidate whom a Proposing Person proposes to nominate for election as a director or the accuracy and completeness of any notice or solicitation given or made on behalf of a Proposing Person. If a shareholder fails to provide such written verification or other information within such period, the information as to which written verification or other information was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.
(5)Upon written request by the secretary, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, a shareholder submitting a notice pursuant to this Section 2.05 proposing business or a nomination to be brought before a meeting shall provide, within 5 business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request), a written supplement, satisfactory in the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors, to any duly authorized committee thereof or any duly authorized officer of the Corporation, to update the information (including any information submitted regarding any Proposing Person) contained in any previously submitted shareholder notice and provide the disclosures required by Section 2.05 such that they are current and true, correct and complete as of the date that such supplement is submitted to the secretary. If a shareholder fails to provide such written supplement within such period, the information as to which a written supplement was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.
9


(6)Upon written request by the secretary, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, each candidate whom a shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director shall, and such shareholder shall cause such nominee to, make himself or herself available for interviews with the Board of Directors and any duly authorized committee thereof within 5 business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified in such request).
(7)For a notice pursuant to this Section 2.05 to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.05, each of the requirements of this Section 2.05 shall be directly and expressly responded to in a manner that clearly indicates and expressly references to which provisions of this Section 2.05 the information disclosed is intended to be responsive. Information disclosed in one section of the notice in response to one provision of this Section 2.05 shall not be deemed responsive to any other provision of this Section 2.05 unless it is expressly cross-referenced to such other provision and it is clearly apparent how the information included in one section of the notice is directly and expressly responsive to the information required to be included in another section of the notice pursuant to this Section 2.05. For the avoidance of doubt, statements purporting to provide global cross-references that purport to provide that all information provided shall be deemed to be responsive to all requirements of this Section 2.05 shall be disregarded and shall not satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.05.
(8)For a notice pursuant to this Section 2.05 to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.05, it must set forth in writing directly within the body of the notice (as opposed to being incorporated by reference from any other document or writing not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws) all the information required to be included therein as set forth in this Section 2.05. A notice shall not be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 2.05 if it attempts to include the required information by incorporating by reference into the body of the notice any other document, writing or part thereof, including, but not limited to, any documents publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws. For the further avoidance of doubt, the body of the notice shall not include any documents that are not prepared solely in response to the requirements of these Bylaws.
(9)A shareholder submitting a notice pursuant to this Section 2.05, by its delivery to the Corporation, represents and warrants that all information contained therein (including any information regarding any Proposing Person or candidate whom a Proposing Person proposes to nominate for election as a director), as of the deadline for submitting the notice, is true, correct and complete in all respects, contains no false or misleading statements and such shareholder acknowledges that it intends for the Corporation and the Board of Directors to rely on such information as (A) being true, correct and complete in all respects and (B) not containing any false or misleading statements. If the information submitted pursuant to this Section 2.05 by any shareholder proposing business or a nomination to be brought before a meeting shall not be true, correct and complete in all respects prior to the deadline for submitting the notice, such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 2.05.
(10)Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph Section 2.05(a)(2) 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 naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 2.05 shall also be considered timely, but only with
10


respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, and only with respect to a shareholder who had, prior to such increase in the size of the Board of Directors, previously submitted, on a timely basis and in proper written form, a shareholder notice relating to nominees for such meeting, 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 7th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.
(b)Special meetings of shareholders. - Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of shareholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, including pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting or any supplement thereto or (2) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such meeting, by any shareholder of the Corporation present in person who is a shareholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 2.05(b), on the record date(s) for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who nominates a number of candidates that does not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.05(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, a shareholder shall not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations or proposals following the expiration of the time periods set forth in this Section 2.05(b). In no event shall the adjournment, recess or postponement of a special meeting (or the public announcement thereof) commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. This Section 2.05(b) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or submit other business before a special meeting of shareholders. If a shareholder is not present in person to present its nomination, such nomination will be disregarded (notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been solicited, obtained or delivered). A shareholder is not entitled to have its nomination included in the Corporation’s proxy materials as a result of such shareholder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.05(b), except if such nominees are also submitted in accordance and in compliance with Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act and other applicable requirements of state and federal law.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles or these Bylaws, the presiding officer 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 this Section 2.05 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 2.05, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. In addition, a nomination or business proposed to be brought by a shareholder pursuant to Section 2.05 may not be brought before a meeting if such shareholder or any Proposing Person takes action contrary to the representations made in the shareholder notice applicable to such nomination or business or if such shareholder notice contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or if after being submitted to the Corporation, the shareholder notice was not updated in accordance with these Bylaws to cause the information provided therein to be true, correct and complete in all respects.
(2)For purposes of this Section 2.05, (A) “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (B) “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the shareholder providing the notice of the nomination or business proposed to be brought before the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf such notice is made, (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi) of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act, or any successor instructions) with such shareholder or beneficial owner in such solicitation of proxies in respect of any such proposed nomination or business, (iv) any Affiliate (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such shareholder or beneficial owner, (v) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such shareholder or beneficial owner and (vi) any person acting in concert with such shareholder or beneficial owner; and (C) a person shall be deemed to be “acting in concert” with another person if such person knowingly

Upon request by the Corporation, if any shareholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(a)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act, such shareholder shall deliver to the Corporation, no later than 5 business days prior to the applicable meeting, reasonable documentary evidence (as determined by the Corporation or one of its representatives, acting in good faith) that it has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.
