(2) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to clause (C) of paragraph (a)(1) of this Section 3.07, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation and any such proposed business other than nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors must constitute a proper matter for shareholder action. 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 ninetieth day nor earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the prior year or the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty days before or more than sixty days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not later than the tenth day following the earlier of (A) the day on which public announcement of the

date of such meeting is first made by the Corporation or (B) the date notice of the meeting was mailed to shareholders). In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above. Such shareholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and (ii) such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; (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 the By-Laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment), the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, any material interest in such business of such shareholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and all information relating to such business that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for such business, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act; and (C) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, (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 propose such business or nomination, and (iv) a representation whether the shareholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (x) 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 (y) otherwise to solicit proxies from shareholders in support of such proposal or nomination. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Exchange Act and such shareholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 3.07 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and a public announcement by the Corporation at an annual meeting is increased and a public announcement by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships is

not made at least one hundred days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 3.07 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary in writing at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01. Each person (including here and hereinafter, the heirs, executors, administrators, or estate of such person) (a) who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, (b) who is or was an agent or employee of the Corporation other than an officer and as to whom the Corporation has agreed to grant such indemnity, or (c) who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as its representative in the position of a director, officer, agent or employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and as to whom the Corporation has agreed to grant such indemnity, shall be indemnified by the Corporation as of right to the fullest extent permitted or authorized by current or future legislation or by current or future judicial or administrative decision (but, in the case of any such future legislation or decision, only to the extent that it permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior to such legislation or decision), against any fine, liability, cost or expense, including attorneys’ fees, asserted against him or incurred by him in his capacity as such

director, officer, agent, employee, or representative, or arising out of his status as such director, which indemnification shall not be exclusive of other rights to which those seeking an indemnification may be entitled. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any such person against any such fine, liability, cost or expense, whether or not the Corporation would have the legal power to directly indemnify him against such liability.

SECTION 8.02. Costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a person referred to in Section 8.01 of this Article VIII in defending a civil or criminal suit, action or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt, in the case of an officer or director, of an undertaking to repay all amounts so advanced in the event it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Article VIII, and upon satisfaction of such other conditions as are required by current or future legislation (but, with respect to future legislation, only to the extent that it provides conditions less burdensome than those previously provided). Such costs, charges and expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate.

SECTION 8.03. If this Article VIII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each person described in a. of this Article VIII to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion and to the fullest extent permitted by law.
