The annual meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote in the election of directors shall be held at 10:00 a.m. on the first Tuesday of May of each year or, if such day shall be a legal holiday, the first regular business day immediately following such date, for the purpose of electing directors whose term expires in such year and for the transaction of such other business as may have been properly brought before the meeting in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04.2 unless the Board of Directors shall designate another date and time for any such meeting, in which event such meeting shall be held at such other time and on such other date so designated by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2.02. Special Meetings. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, may only be called by the Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board; provided, however, that the Corporation shall hold a special meeting of shareholders if one or more signed and dated written demand or demands by holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered are delivered to the Corporation as required under


 
2 the WBCL, which demand or demands must describe one or more identical purposes for which the shareholders demand that a special meeting be held. SECTION 2.03. Place of Meeting. All annual and special meetings shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation in the State of Wisconsin unless the Board of Directors shall (a) designate another place, either within or without the State of Wisconsin, for any such meeting, in which event such meeting shall be at such other place so designated by the Board of Directors or (b) determine, in its sole discretion, that such meeting shall not be held at any place, but shall be held solely by means of remote communication. Any meeting may be adjourned to reconvene at any place, or by means of remote communication, in either case as designated by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting. SECTION 2.04. Notice of Meetings. 2.04.1. Notice of Meeting. The Corporation shall notify shareholders of the date, time and place, if any, of each annual and special meeting of shareholders.

Oral notice shall be deemed to be effective when communicated. Notice by newspaper, radio, television or other form of public broadcast communication shall be deemed to be effective the date of publication or broadcast. 2.04.2. Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals. At an annual meeting of shareholders, only such nominations of persons for the election of directors and such other business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business (including but not limited to director nominations) must be: (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any amendment or supplement thereto) given in accordance with Section 2.04.1, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation at the time such notice of such meeting is delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing clause (c) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or propose business (other than business included in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to


 
3 Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, as defined below) at an annual meeting of shareholders. In addition to any other requirements under applicable law, the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws, for business (including but not limited to director nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely written notice thereof in proper form to the Secretary in accordance with this Section 2.04.2 (even if such issue or matter is already the subject of any notice (including by Public Announcement, as defined below)) to the shareholders. For all business other than director nominations (to which the procedures in Section 2.12 shall apply) to be timely, a shareholder’s notice of such business must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than at the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, and not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day in advance of the anniversary of the annual meeting of shareholders held in the prior year; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, if the meeting is convened more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the prior year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment, or postponement of an annual meeting for which notice has been given, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice. For all business other than director nominations (to which the procedures in Section 2.12 shall apply) to be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter that the shareholder proposes to bring before an annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) with respect to the shareholder proposing such business, (i) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of such shareholder, (ii)(A) the class and number of shares of the Corporation which are owned of record and shares of the Corporation which are owned beneficially but not of record by such shareholder as well as by any Associated Person (as defined below), (B) any Derivative Instrument (as defined below) directly or indirectly owned beneficially by such shareholder as well as by any Associated Person and any other direct or indirect opportunity to profit or share in any profit derived from any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation, (C) any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding, or relationship pursuant to which such shareholder as well as any Associated Person has a right to vote any shares of any security of the Corporation, (D) the extent to which such shareholder, or any Associated Person, has entered into any transaction or series of transactions, including hedging, short selling, borrowing shares, or lending shares, with the effect or intent to mitigate loss or manage the risks of changes in share price or to profit or share in profit from any decrease in share price, or to increase or decrease the voting power of such shareholder or any Associated Person with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation,


 
4 (E) any rights to dividends on the shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such shareholder that are separated or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (F) any proportionate interest in shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such shareholder is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, and (G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such shareholder is entitled to base on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of the Corporation or Derivative Instruments, if any, as of the date of such notice, including without limitation any such interests held by members of such shareholder’s immediate family sharing the same household (which information shall be supplemented by such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, not later than ten (10) days after the record date for the meeting to disclose such ownership as of the record date); (ii) any other information relating to such shareholder and beneficial owner, if any, that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings that would be required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for the proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (iii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to present the proposed business specified in the notice; and (iv) any interest of the shareholder in such business. In addition, any such shareholder shall be required to provide such further information as may be requested by the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything in the Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted and no director nominations shall be made at the annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.2 and Section 2.12 and failure to comply with such procedures shall include without limitation any failure by a shareholder intending to propose any business or make a director nomination to comply with such procedures (including without limitation a failure by any such shareholder to timely provide information as required in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12 with respect to such business or such director nomination, as the case may be), or the failure by any such shareholder to appear at the meeting to present any such proposed business or director nomination, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.04.2 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any business properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures. The presiding officer at an annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04.2, and if the presiding officerhe or she should so determine, the presiding officerhe or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted. For purposes of this Section 2.04.2 and Section 2.12, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) “Associated Person” of any shareholder means any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such shareholder; any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or beneficially by such shareholder; and any person controlling, controlled by, or under common control


 
5 with such shareholder; (b) “Derivative Instrument” means any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege or a settlement payment or mechanism at a price related to any class or series of shares of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value of any class or series of shares of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right is subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of capital stock of the Corporation or otherwise; (c) the “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (d) “Public Announcement” means disclosure 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, or in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Reuters Economic Services, Associated Press or comparable national news service, and notice given by Public Announcement shall be deemed given when such disclosure is first made. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12, a shareholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.04.2 and in Section 2.12. Nothing in this Section 2.04.2 or Section 2.12 shall be deemed to affect the Corporation’s obligations, or any shareholder’s rights to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement, under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. 2.04.3. Adjourned Meeting. If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, or will be held by a new means of remote communication, notice need not be given of the new date, time, place, or means of remote communication if the new date, time, place, or means of remote communication are announced at the meeting before adjournment. But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed (see Section 2.05 of this Article II), then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.04.1 to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date. 2.04.4. Waiver of Notice. Any shareholder may waive notice of the meeting (or any notice required by the WBCL, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws), by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the Corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the corporate records. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting, whether physical or remote, in person or by proxy: (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.


 
6 2.04.5. Contents of Notice. The notice of each special shareholder meeting shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called and such other information as may be required by the WBCL. Except as provided in this Section 2.04.5, or as otherwise required by the WBCL or the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the notice of an annual shareholder meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. SECTION 2.05. Fixing of Record Date. 2.05.1. Meetings, Distributions, Etc. For the purpose of determining shareholders of any voting group entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting, to demand a special meeting, or to vote or take any other action, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution or share dividend, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination. Such record date shall not be more than seventy (70) days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to demand or vote at, a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive a share dividend or distribution, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on: (a) with respect to an annual shareholder meeting or any special shareholder meeting called by the Board of Directors or any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors or these Bylaws to call a meeting, the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders; (b) with respect to a special shareholders’ meeting demanded by the shareholders, the date the first shareholder signs the demand; (c) with respect to the payment of a share dividend, the date the Board of Directors authorizes the share dividend; (d) with respect to actions taken in writing without a meeting (pursuant to Section 2.11 of this Article II), the date the first shareholder signs a consent; and (e) with respect to a distribution to shareholders (other than a distribution involving a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of the Corporation’s shares), the date the Board of Directors authorizes the distribution. 2.05.2. Adjournment. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any shareholders’ meeting has been made as provided in this Section 2.05, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date fixed for the original meeting.


 
7 SECTION 2.06. Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a meeting of shareholders, the Corporation shall prepare a list of the names of all its shareholders who are entitled to notice of the shareholders’ meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares and show the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The shareholders’ list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder beginning two (2) business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting. The list shall be available at the Corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting is to be held or on a reasonably accessible electronic network if the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting. Subject to the provisions of the WBCL, a shareholder, or his or hersuch shareholder’s agent or attorney, is entitled, on written demand, to inspect and, provided that the shareholder, or his or hersuch shareholder’s agent or attorney, demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Corporation that he or shesuch person satisfies the applicable requirements of the WBCL, to copy the list, during regular business hours and at his or herthe shareholder’s expense, during the period it is available for inspection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, if the Corporation determines that the list will be made available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to shareholders. The Corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and any shareholder, or his or hersuch shareholder’s agent or attorney, may inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall be open to the examination of any shareholder during the entire time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting. SECTION 2.07. Quorum, Voting Requirements, Voting Groups and Remote Participation. 2.07.1. Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, a Bylaw adopted under authority granted in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or the WBCL provides otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. 2.07.2. Voting Requirements. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the sole purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is deemed present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists, for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting. If a quorum exists, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or the WBCL requires a greater number of affirmative votes; provided, however, the voting requirements for the election of directors shall be governed by Section 2.13.2.07.3. Voting Groups. If the


 
8 Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or the WBCL provides for voting by a single voting group on a matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group. If the Articles of Incorporation or the WBCL provides 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. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter. 2.07.4 Remote Participation. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to the rest of this Section 2.07.4 and to any guidelines and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors, shareholders and proxies of shareholders not physically present at a meeting of shareholders may participate in the meeting by means of remote communication. If shareholders or proxies of shareholders participate in a meeting by means of remote communication, the participating shareholders or proxies of shareholders are deemed to be present in person and to vote at the meeting, whether the meeting is held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, if the Corporation: (a) has implemented reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a shareholder or proxy of a shareholder; (b) has implemented reasonable measures to provide shareholders and proxies of shareholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the shareholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting concurrently with the proceedings; and (c) maintains a record of voting or action by any shareholder or proxy of a shareholder that votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of a remote communication. SECTION 2.08. Proxies. For all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may authorize another person to act for the shareholder by appointing the person as proxy. A shareholder or the shareholder’s authorized officer, director, employee, agent or attorney-in-fact may use any of the following means to appoint a proxy: (i) in writing by signing or causing the shareholder’s signature to be affixed to an appointment form by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature; (ii) by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission of the appointment to the person who will be appointed as proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent authorized to receive the transmission by the person who will be appointed as proxy; or (iii) by any other means permitted by the WBCL. An appointment of a proxy shall be effective when a signed appointment form or an electronic transmission of the appointment is received by the inspector of election or the officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes. No appointment shall be valid after eleven (11) months unless otherwise provided in the appointment. SECTION 2.09. Voting of Shares.


 
9 2.09.1. Generally. Except as otherwise provided in the WBCL or in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter voted on at a shareholders’ meeting. 2.09.2. Shares Held by a Controlled Corporation. No shares in the Corporation held by another corporation may be voted if the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, a sufficient number of shares entitled to elect a majority of the directors of such other corporation; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be limited in its power to vote any shares, including its own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. 2.09.3. Redeemable Shares. Redeemable shares are not entitled to vote after notice of redemption is mailed to the holders thereof and a sum sufficient to redeem the shares has been deposited with a bank, trust company, or other financial institution under an irrevocable obligation to pay the holders the redemption price on surrender of the shares. 2.09.4. No Nominee Procedures. The Corporation has not established, and nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to establish, any procedure by which a beneficial owner of the Corporation’s shares that are registered in the name of a nominee is recognized by the Corporation as a shareholder under Section 180.0723 of the WBCL. SECTION 2.10. Corporation’s Acceptance of Votes. 2.10.1. Shareholder Name. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder. 2.10.2. Other Name. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of its shareholder, the Corporation, if acting in good faith, is nevertheless entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if: (a) the shareholder is an entity as defined in the WBCL and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity; (b) the name signed purports to be that of a personal representative, administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; (c) the name signed purports to be that of a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence of this status acceptable to the Corporation has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment;


 
10 (d) the name signed purports to be that of a pledgee, beneficial owner, or attorney-in-fact of the shareholder and, if the Corporation requests, evidence acceptable to the Corporation of the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder has been presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment; or (e) two or more persons are the shareholder as co-tenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co- owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all the co-owners. 2.10.3. Invalid Signature. The Corporation is entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder. 2.10.4. No Liability. The Corporation and its officers or agents who accept or reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment in good faith and in accordance with the standards of this Section 2.10 are not liable in damages to the shareholder or any other person for the consequences of the acceptance or rejection. 2.10.5. Presumption of Validity. Corporate action based on the acceptance or rejection of a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment under this Section 2.10 is valid unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines otherwise. SECTION 2.11. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required or permitted by the WBCL to be taken at a shareholders’ meeting may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting those shares with voting power to cast not less than the minimum number or, in the case of voting by voting groups, numbers of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote were present and voted and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minute book. If the action to be taken requires that notice be given to non-voting shareholders, except as is otherwise required by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation shall give the non-voting shareholders written notice of the proposed action at least ten (10) days before the action is taken, which notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material that would have been required if a formal meeting had been called to consider the action. Action taken by written consents is effective when the last such written consent is delivered to the Corporation, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A written consent signed by all shareholders required to sign such consent in order to take such action in accordance with this Section 2.11 has the effect of a vote approving such action by such shareholders at a meeting at which all such shareholders were present and may be described as such in any document. SECTION 2.12. Procedures for Director Nominations. Only persons nominated in accordance with all of the procedures set forth in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or the Schneider Family Board Nomination Process Agreement, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Schneider Family Nomination Agreement”) shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation


 
11 may be made at a meeting of shareholders by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, by any shareholder of the Corporation who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation at the time notice of the meeting is delivered, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.12, or pursuant to the Schneider Family Nomination Agreement. For director nominations to be made by a shareholder to be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation: (a) with respect to director nominations to be made at an annual meeting, not later than at the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, and not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day in advance of, the anniversary of the annual meeting of shareholders held in the prior year; and (b) with respect to director nominations to be made at a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation of such special meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that, with respect to the foregoing clause (a) and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, if the meeting is convened more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the prior year, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation of such annual meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there has been notice naming all of the nominees for director or indicating the increase in the size of the Board of Directors made by the Corporation given to the shareholders at least ten (10) days before the last day a shareholder may deliver a notice of nomination in accordance with the preceding sentence, a shareholder’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 received by the Secretary at the principal office of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice, which includes a Public Announcement, is first given to shareholders by the Corporation. In no event shall an adjournment, or postponement of an annual or a special meeting for which notice has been given, commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s notice. For director nominations to be made by a shareholder to be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice shall set forth in writing (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of such person, (iii) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, and (iv) such other information relating to such person as is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any successor to such Regulation; and (b) as to such shareholder, (i) the information required by clauses (b)(i) and (ii) of the fourth paragraph of Section 2.04.2, (ii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons


 
12 specified in the notice, and (iii) any interest of the shareholder in such nomination. 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 (x) such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation, including without limitation information to determine the independence of such nominee (or lack thereof) and/or information that could be material to a shareholder’s understanding of the nominee’s independence, or (y) the shareholder to nominate the proposed nominee. The presiding officer at an annual meeting or a special meeting of shareholders for the election of directors shall, if the facts so warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures or other requirements prescribed by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; and if he or shethe presiding officer should so determine, such presiding officer shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination(s) shall be disregarded. SECTION 2.13. Voting for Directors. Unless otherwise provided in the Articles of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present. In this Section 2.13, “plurality” shall mean that the individuals with the largest number of votes are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. Votes cast against a candidate are not given legal effect and are not counted as votes cast in an election of directors. SECTION 2.14. Conduct of Meetings. The ChairmanChair of the Board, and in his or herthe Chair’s absence, inability or refusal to act, the Chief Executive Officer, and in the absence, inability or refusal to act of both the ChairmanChair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, any person chosen by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting, provided that a quorum is present, shall call the meeting to order and shall act as chairmanchair of the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders, but, in the absence, inability or refusal to act of the Secretary, the chairmanchair of the meeting may appoint any other person to act as secretary of the meeting. An annual or special meeting may also be adjourned at any time, including after action on one or more matters, by the ChairmanChair of the Board, by the presiding officer of such meeting or by any duly authorized officer of the Corporation. The meeting may be adjourned for any purpose, including, but not limited to, allowing additional time to solicit votes on one or more matters, to disseminate additional information to shareholders or to count votes. Upon being reconvened, the adjourned meeting shall be deemed to be a continuation of the original meeting. SECTION 2.15. Polling. In the sole discretion of the presiding officer of an annual or special meeting of shareholders, polls may be closed at any time after commencement of any annual or special meeting. When there are several matters to be considered at a meeting, the polls may remain open during the meeting as to any or all matters to be considered, as the presiding officer may declare. Polls will remain open as to matters to be considered at any adjournment of the meeting unless the presiding officer declares otherwise. After the polls close, no ballots, proxies or revocations or changes to ballots, proxies or votes shall be accepted.

The waiver shall be in writing, signed by the director entitled to the notice and retained by the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a director’s attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to


 
16 such director of the meeting unless the director at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon such director’s arrival objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. SECTION 3.06. Quorum and Votes. 3.06.1. Quorum.

Votes. The affirmative vote of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the Board of Directors or committee unless the WBCL, the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws require the vote of a greater number of directors. SECTION 3.07. Meetings; Assent. 3.07.1. Meetings by Telephone or Otherwise.

If the meeting is to be conducted through the use of any such means of communication all participating directors must be informed that a meeting is taking place at which official business may be transacted. A director participating in a meeting by any such means of communication is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. 3.07.2. Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (a) he or shesuch director objects at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon his or hersuch director’s arrival) to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; or (b) he or shesuch director dissents or abstains from the action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that show his or hersuch director’s dissent or abstention from the action taken; or (c) he or shesuch director delivers written notice of his or hersuch director’s dissent or abstention to the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the Corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting; or (d) he or shesuch director dissents or abstains from the action taken and minutes of the meeting are prepared that fail to show his or hersuch director’s dissent or abstention and he or shesuch director delivers written notice of that failure to the Corporation promptly after receiving the minutes.

The action shall be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each director and retained by the Corporation. Any such consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. One or more of such written consents signed by all of the directors in accordance with this Section 3.08 has the effect of a unanimous vote taken at a meeting at which all directors were present and may be described as such in any document. SECTION 3.09. Removal and Resignation of Directors. 3.09.1. Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors only at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given to the shareholders that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal may be with or without cause. If a director is elected by a voting group, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him or hersuch director exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove him or hersuch director. 3.09.2. Resignation. A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Board of Directors or to the Corporation. A resignation is effective when such notice is delivered to the Corporation unless the notice specifies a later effective date. SECTION 3.10. Vacancies.

Any director so elected to fill any vacancy in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until such director’s successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date may be filled before the vacancy occurs but the new director will not take office until the vacancy occurs. SECTION 3.11. Expenses and Compensation. Unless the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation provide otherwise, the Board of Directors, by resolution and irrespective of any personal interest of any of its members, may provide that each director be paid his or hersuch director’s expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, and may fix the compensation of directors. No such payment or compensation shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any capacity other than as a director and receiving compensation therefor. SECTION 3.12. Committees.
