MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation for the election of directors of the Corporation, and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before such meeting, shall be held in Atlanta, Georgia, at such place and time as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, or at such other place either within or without the State of Delaware or the United States as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting; provided, however, that no annual meeting of stockholders need be held if the election of directors required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) to be taken at such annual meeting is effected by written consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 10 of this Article II and consistent with the applicable statutory requirements of the DGCL. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized, in its sole discretion, to determine that any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be held solely by means of remote communication to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 2. Special Meeting. Special meetings of the Corporation’s stockholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise required by Delaware law, the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as the same may be amended or restated from time to time, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, may only be called by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Chairman”), the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation or the Board of Directors, provided that, until the Specified Date, special meetings of the Corporation’s stockholders may also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation at the request of the holders of shares of a majority of the Voting Stock (as defined in Article II, Section 3 of these Bylaws) then outstanding, with any such special meetings to be held at such place (within or without the State of Delaware or the United States), date and time (and, in the case of a meeting held by remote communication, the means of remote


communication by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) and for such purpose or purposes, as shall be designated in the notice of the special meeting.

Section 3. Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings. Notice of the annual meeting or any special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders stating the place, date and time of the meeting (and, in the case of a meeting held by remote communication, the means of remote communication by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting) and in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes of the special meeting, shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each holder of record of shares of the Voting Stock. As used in these Bylaws, “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, or with respect to any action to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation, all issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting and with respect to such action, and each reference to a percentage or portion of the “Voting Power” of shares of Voting Stock shall refer to the votes entitled to be cast by such shares of Voting Stock. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Stockholders not entitled to vote shall not be entitled to receive notice of any meetings except as otherwise required by Delaware law.

Without limiting the foregoing, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 3 of Article II shall be effective if given by a form of electronic mail or other electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall also be deemed revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, the transfer agent or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by a form of electronic transmission in accordance with these Bylaws shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network, together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of such posting and the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by another form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice for stockholders may be given by electronic mail or other electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders of record who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 233 of the DGCL.

Section 4. Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every annual or special meeting

 

2


of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 4 of Article II shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to examination by any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting during ordinary business hours, and for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 5. Purpose of Special Meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice.

Section 6. Address for Notice; Waiver of Notice. If, prior to the time of mailing, the Secretary of the Corporation shall have received from any stockholder a written request that notices intended for such stockholder are to be mailed to some address other than the address that appears on the records of the Corporation, notices intended for such stockholder shall be mailed to the address designated in such request. Notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders need not be given to any stockholder who files a written waiver of notice with the Secretary of the Corporation, signed by the person entitled to notice or provides a waiver of notice by electronic mail or other electronic transmission, in each case, whether before or after such meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice thereof. Attendance of a stockholder at a meeting, in person or by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when such stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

Section 7. Quorum; Adjourned Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the holders of record of at least a majority of the Voting Power, whether present in person or by proxy at such meeting, shall constitute a quorum at all annual and special meetings of the Corporation’s stockholders for the transaction of business. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of record of a majority of the Voting Power present at the meeting in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented. When a meeting is adjourned, whether for lack of a quorum or for other reason, notice of the adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place, if any, of the adjourned meeting, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At such

 

3


adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally described in the notice to the stockholders. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record of Voting Stock entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each holder of record of Voting Stock as of the record date so fixed for such adjourned meeting.

Section 8. Stockholder Vote. When a quorum is present at any annual or special meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders, the vote of the holders of a majority of the Voting Power of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall decide any question brought before such meeting and be valid and binding upon the Corporation, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Abstentions and broker non-votes shall not be counted as votes cast.

Section 9. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by an instrument in writing or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed with the Secretary of the Corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, facsimile, electronic or telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the DGCL.

Section 10. Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, prior to the Specified Date, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock of the Corporation who would be entitled to vote at a meeting and who hold shares having Voting Power equal to but not less than the minimum number 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. Such consent shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of the action taken shall be given to the extent required under the DGCL to all stockholders who do not participate in taking the action who would have been entitled to notice if such action had been taken at a meeting having a record date on the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation. From and after the Specified Date, any action by stockholders may occur only at a duly called and convened annual or special meeting of stockholders, and stockholders may not act by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Section 11. Organization. Meetings of the Corporation’s stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or in the Chairman of the Board’s absence by the President and Chief Executive Officer, or in his or her absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the

 

4


meeting, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and for any reason to adjourn or recess the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the manner of voting and conduct of business and the date and time of opening and closing of the polls. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

(c) General.

(i) Except as otherwise provided by law, with respect to stockholder nominations and proposals, only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 of Article II shall be eligible to be elected at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12 of Article II. The chairman 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 12 of Article II (including whether the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made solicited (or is part of a group which solicited) or did not so solicit, as the case may be, proxies in compliance with such stockholder’s representation as required by clause (a)(ii)(C)(6) of this Section 12 of Article II). If any proposed nomination or business was not made or proposed in compliance with this Section 12 of Article II, then except as otherwise provided by law, the Chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to declare that such nomination shall be disregarded or that such proposed business shall not be transacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12 of Article II, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder does not provide the information required under clauses (a)(ii)(C)(2), (4) and (5) of this Section 12 of Article II to the Corporation within the times frames specified herein, or if the

 

8


stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or proposed business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 12 of Article II, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the Corporation prior to the making of such nomination or proposal at such meeting by such stockholder stating that such person is authorized to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 12 of Article II, a “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of clause (a)(ii)(C)(2) of this Section 12 of Article II, shares shall be treated as “beneficially owned” by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder or has or shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing): (A) the right to acquire such shares (whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both), (B) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others and/or (C) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of such shares.

(iii) Nothing in this Section 12 of Article II shall be deemed to affect (i) any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors pursuant to any applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, if any, or (ii) any rights of stockholders under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, as may be amended from time to time.

Section 13. Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, if required by the DGCL, the Board of Directors shall appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy. Inspectors need not be stockholders. No director or nominee for the office of director of the Board of Directors shall be appointed such an inspector.

Such inspectors shall:

(a) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies;

(b) receive votes, ballots or consents;

 

9


(c) hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;

(d) count and tabulate all votes or consents;

(e) determine when the polls shall close;

(f) determine the result; and

(g) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

The inspectors of election shall perform their duties impartially, in good faith, to the best of their ability and as expeditiously as is practical. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

Section 14. Meetings by Remote Communications. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

ARTICLE III

DIRECTORS

Section 1. Number. The number of directors that constitutes the Board of Directors shall be at least three (3) and not more than fifteen (15). Except as may be set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation, the number of directors shall be determined, subject to any agreement to which the Corporation is a party, by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before such director’s term of office expires. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, the directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article III. Unless otherwise specified in the Certificate of Incorporation, elections of directors need not be by written ballot. Each director shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, disability,

 

10


resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders. The Board of Directors may elect one of their members to be Chairman of the Board of Directors. He or she shall perform such duties as may, from time to time be assigned to him or her by the Board of Directors.

Section 2. Vacancy. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or any agreement among the Corporation and stockholders of the Corporation, any newly created directorship or any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors for any cause may be filled by a vote of a majority of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, although such majority is less than a quorum, or by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of the Corporation’s stockholders. The directors so elected shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, disability, resignation or removal. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by Delaware law. If at any time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board of Directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent (10%) of the total number of shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, may summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

Section 3. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the Secretary of the Corporation, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective immediately or at a particular time in the future. If no such specification is made, it shall be deemed effective upon receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation. When one (1) or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

Section 4. Removal. Until the Specified Date, except as provided in Section 141 of the DGCL, at a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose in the manner hereinabove provided, the Board of Directors, or any individual director, may be removed from office, with or without cause, and a new director or directors elected, by the holders of a majority of the Voting Power at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation called for that purpose.

If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, 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. 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 determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

(b) 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 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 shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no such 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.

(c) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express 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 record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by the DGCL, the record date for such purpose 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 in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by the DGCL, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 1. Dividends. Dividends upon the capital stock of the Corporation, unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, may be declared by the Board of Directors at any regular or special meeting, in accordance with applicable law. Dividends may be paid in cash, property, or in shares of stock, unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to time, in its absolute discretion, may think proper as a reserve or reserves for contingencies, equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, or for such other purpose or purposes as the Board of Directors shall think conducive to the interests of the Corporation, and the Board of Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 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 3. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on the thirty-first day of December of each year unless changed by resolution by the Board of Directors.

Section 4. Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, judicial, administrative or legislative hearing, investigation or any other threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other nature (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but,

 

21


in the case of amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the indemnitee) actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 4(c) of this Article X with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding, or part thereof (including claims and counterclaims), was authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

(b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 4(a) of this Article X, an indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that if required by law an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 4(b) of this Article X or otherwise.

(c) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a request for indemnification under Section 4(a) of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days, or if a request for an advancement of expenses under Section 4(b) of this Article X is not paid in full by the Corporation within twenty (20) days, after a written request has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware seeking an adjudication of entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Further, 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 indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the

 

22


indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article X or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 4 of Article X shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or directors, provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws or otherwise.

(e) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(f) Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

(i) Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Section 4 of Article X, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution or such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

The Corporation hereby agrees (i) that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to any such indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the secondary indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such indemnitee 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 law, the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws (or any other agreement between the Corporation and such indemnitee), without regard to any rights such indemnitee may have against the secondary indemnitors, and, (iii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the secondary indemnitors from any and all claims against the secondary indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation further agrees that no advancement or payment by the secondary indemnitors on behalf of any such indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing, and the secondary indemnitors 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 indemnitee against the Corporation. The Corporation and each such indemnitee agree that the secondary indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 4.
