If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 2.9 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.6
Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the holders present in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum.

Each such stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him 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. All elections of directors shall be by written ballot, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation; but voting on other questions by stockholders need not be by ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors. A plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient for election of directors by stockholders. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, or a resolution of the board of directors, all other questions shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at a meeting, or by written consent without a meeting of the number of votes required by Section 2.1 of these bylaws.

If no record date is fixed (1) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held and (2) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent is expressed. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall indemnify any Director or Officer seeking indemnification in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director or Officer only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director or Officer) was authorized in advance by the board of directors, unless such Proceeding was brought to enforce such Officer’s or Director’s rights to indemnification or, in the case of Directors, advancement of Expenses under these bylaws in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

Section 6.3
Indemnification of Non-Officer Employees. Subject to the operation of Section 6.4 of this Article VI of these bylaws, each Non-Officer Employee may, in the discretion of the board of directors, be indemnified by the corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against any or all Expenses and Liabilities that are incurred by such Non-Officer Employee or on such Non-Officer Employee’s behalf in connection with any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, or any claim, issue or matter therein, which such Non-Officer Employee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in by reason of such Non-Officer Employee’s Corporate Status, if such Non-Officer Employee acted in good faith and in a manner such Non-Officer Employee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 6.3 shall exist as to a Non-Officer Employee after he or she has ceased to be a Non-Officer Employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, personal representatives, executors, and administrators.

Indemnification under this Section 6.4 shall not be subject to satisfaction of a standard of conduct, and the corporation may not assert the failure to satisfy a standard of conduct as a basis to deny indemnification or recover amounts advanced; provided, however, that any person who is not a current or former Director or officer (as such term is defined in the final sentence of Section 145(c)(1) of the DGCL) shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 6.2(a)(1) or Section 6.2(a)(2) only if such Director or officer has satisfied the standard of conduct required for indemnification under Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL.

Section 6.5
Determination. Unless ordered by a court or otherwise required by the DGCL, no indemnification shall be provided pursuant to this Article VI to a Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee unless a determination shall have been made that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made, as selected by the board of directors (except with respect to clause (e) of this Section 6.5) by: (a) a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the board of directors, (b) a committee comprised of Disinterested Directors, such committee having been designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors (even though less than a quorum), (c) if there are no such Disinterested Directors, or if a majority of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, (d) by the stockholders of the corporation or (e) in the event that a change of control (as defined below) has occurred, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee seeking indemnification. For purposes of this Section 6.5, a “change of control” will be deemed to have occurred if, with respect to any particular 24-month period, the individuals who, at the beginning of such 24-month period, constituted the board of directors (the “incumbent board”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such 24-month period whose election, or nomination for election by the stockholders of the corporation, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the incumbent board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the incumbent board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the board of directors.

Section 6.6
Advancement of Expenses to Directors Prior to Final Disposition.

(a)
The corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director in connection with any Proceeding in which such Director is involved by reason of such Director’s Corporate Status within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the corporation of a written statement from such Director requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director) was (i) authorized by the board of directors, or (ii) brought to enforce such Director’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these bylaws.

(b)
In any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such Expenses upon a final adjudication that the Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Section 6.7
Advancement of Expenses to Officers and Non-Officer Employees Prior to Final Disposition.

(a)
The corporation may, at the discretion of the board of directors, advance any or all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Officer or any Non-Officer Employee in connection with any Proceeding in which such person is involved by reason of his or her Corporate Status as an Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer or Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.

(b)
In any suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such Expenses upon a final adjudication that the Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Section 6.8
Contractual Nature of Rights.

(a)
The provisions of this Article VI shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article VI is in effect, in consideration of such person’s past or current and any future performance of services for the corporation. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate inconsistent with this Article VI shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Article VI in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a Proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a Director or Officer of the corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person.

8

(b)
If a claim for indemnification (following final disposition of such Proceeding) or advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty (30) days after receipt by the corporation of a written claim and documentation for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting or defending such suit. The failure of the corporation (including its board of directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification or advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall be on the corporation.

(c)
In any suit brought by a Director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Section 6.9
Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.

Section 6.10
Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the corporation or any such Director, Officer, or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person’s Corporate Status, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article VI.

Section 6.11
Other Indemnification.

(a)
Subject to any other right which any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise to the contrary, the corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article VI as a result of such person serving, at the request of the corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the “Primary Indemnitor”). Subject to any other right which any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate or these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise to the contrary, any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI owed by the corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the corporation, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

9

(b)
The corporation hereby acknowledges that each Director may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the stockholder entitled to designate such Director or certain of their respective affiliates (each, an “Other Indemnitor”). The corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to the indemnification obligations to a Director pursuant to these bylaws, the Certificate or any other agreement between the corporation and a Director (i.e., such obligations to each Director are primary and any obligation of an Other Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Director are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by each Director and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of these bylaws, the Certificate or any other agreement between the corporation and a Director, without regard to any rights a Director may have against an Other Indemnitor, and (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each Other Indemnitor from any and all claims against such Other Indemnitor for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by an Other Indemnitor on behalf of a Director with respect to any claim for which such Director has sought indemnification from the corporation shall affect the foregoing and that each Other Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Director against the corporation. The Other Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the corporation under this Section 6.11 shall only apply to Directors in their capacity as Directors.
