The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. (b) ACTIONS OR SUITS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION.

Any indemnification under Sections 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be paid by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnified person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) of this Article VII. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel (who may be the regular counsel of the corporation) in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. (e) ADVANCEMENT OF COSTS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a director or officer referred to in Sections 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of this Article VII in defending a civil or criminal action, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation, in advance of a determination of right to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(d) of this Article VII or the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon the written request of such director or officer; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses in advance of the determination of right to indemnification or the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this Section 7.1. The Board of Directors may, in such case, and upon approval of such director or officer of the corporation, authorize the corporation's counsel to represent such person, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding. 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 deems appropriate. (f) PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION. Any indemnification under Sections 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) of this Article VII or advance of expenses under Section 7.1(e) of this Article VII shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the indemnified person. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Section 7.1 shall be enforceable by the indemnified person in any court of competent jurisdiction, if the corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition 11 thereof is made within 60 days. Such person's costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with successfully establishing his or her right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section 7.1 of this Article VII where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of this Article VII but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of this Article VII nor the fact that there has been an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel, and its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. (g) OTHER RIGHTS; CONTINUATION OF RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. The indemnification and advancement of costs, charges and expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 7.1 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of costs, charges and expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office as set forth in Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) of this Article VII or otherwise, and, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to hold such office and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification under this Section 7.1 shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director and officer of the corporation who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this Section 7.1 is in effect. Any repeal or modification of this Section 7.1 or any repeal or modification of relevant provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable laws shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification of such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation arising hereunder. (h) INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND OTHER AGENTS. The Board of Directors in its discretion shall have power on behalf of the corporation, subject to applicable law, to indemnify any person made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an employee or other agent of the corporation and to advance costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding. SECTION 7.2 INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII. 12 SECTION 7.3 SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer of the corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law. ARTICLE VIII STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 8.1 CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Directors or the president or a vice president, and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, or the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. Any or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. SECTION 8.2 LOST CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates of stock to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representative, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the corporation a bond (or other adequate security) in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 8.3 TRANSFER OF STOCK. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. SECTION 8.4 STOCKHOLDERS OF RECORD; NO RECORD DATE. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which 13 the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten calendar days before the date of such meeting. 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. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which date shall not be more than ten calendar days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, 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 statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings or stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, 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. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, the close of business of the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. SECTION 8.5 REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. The corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and to hold liable for calls and assessments a person registered on its books as the owner of shares, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware. 14 ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 9.1 DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. If a dividend is to be paid in shares of the corporation's theretofore unissued stock, the Board of Directors shall, by resolution, direct that there be designated as capital in respect of such shares an amount which is not less than the aggregate par value of par value shares being declared as a dividend and, in the case of shares without par value being declared as a dividend, such amount as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. No such designation as capital shall be necessary if shares are distributed pursuant to a split-up or division of the corporation's stock rather than as payment of a dividend declared payable in stock of the corporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation legally available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors may from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or for such other purposes as the directors shall think conducive to the interest of the corporation, and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. This section is subject to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement. SECTION 9.2 CHECKS. All checks or demands for money and notes of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. SECTION 9.3 EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS. Deeds, leases, contracts, mortgages, bonds, debentures, drafts and other documents for and in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers or such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time designate. ARTICLE X AMENDMENTS SECTION 10.1 AMENDMENTS. Subject to the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, these bylaws may be altered, amended, or repealed or new bylaws may be adopted, by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting thereof, subject to the powers of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote in respect thereof, by their vote given at an annual meeting or at any special meeting, to amend or repeal any bylaw. 15
