ARTICLE 1 - OFFICES

 

Section 1.1 The Corporation shall have and maintain in the State of Delaware a registered office that may, but need not be, the same as its place of business.

 

Section 1.2 The Corporation may also have offices at such other places as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

 

ARTICLE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 2.1 All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, and at such date and time as may be designated by the Board of Directors and as shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

 

Section 2.2 An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting, shall be held at such place, date, and time as the Board of Directors may designate and as shall be specified in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof. In the absence of such a designation by the Board of Directors, the Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be held on a date to be determined from year to year by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2.3 Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Board of Directors or the President and shall be called by the President or the Secretary at the request in writing of: (i) any director of the Corporation then in office or (ii) stockholders entitled to cast at least one-fifth of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at all special meetings shall be confined to the purposes stated in the notice thereof.

 

Section 2.4 Written notice of any annual or special meeting of stockholders shall be mailed to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, not fewer than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of such meeting. Such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to each stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it last appears on the records of the Corporation. Such notice shall state the place, date, and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

 

Section 2.5 At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, except to the extent that the presence of a larger number of stockholders may be required by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the

1

Corporation or by these By-laws. If a quorum shall fail to be present or represented at any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares of the stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date, or time. When a meeting is so adjourned, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date, and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At any adjourned meeting, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 2.6 At any meeting of the stockholders, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or any complete and reliable copy, facsimile telecommunication, or other reproduction of the writing executed by such stockholder or by an authorized officer, director, employee, or agent of such stockholder, to the extent permitted by law, and submitted to the Secretary at or before such meeting, but no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation or as required by law, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote that is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Neither the election of directors nor any other voting need be by written ballot, except upon demand therefore by the Board of Directors or the officer of the Corporation presiding at the meeting of stockholders where the vote is to be taken. When a quorum exists at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one for which, by express provision of law or of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or of these By-laws, a different vote is required.

 

Section 2.7 At least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, the officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list 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 of the Corporation who is present. The stock ledger of the Corporation shall be the only evidence as to the identities of the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.7 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

 

Section 2.8 The Board of Directors shall appoint either one or three inspectors of election, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, to act at such meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof. Inspectors of election need not be stockholders, and no person who is a candidate for corporate office shall act as an inspector of election. If three inspectors of election are appointed, such inspectors of election shall act by majority vote. Each inspector of election

2

shall sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and to the best of the inspector’s ability and shall do all acts as are necessary and proper to conduct the election or vote and all such other acts as may be prescribed by law with fairness to all stockholders. Such inspectors of election shall make a written report of any matter determined by them and shall execute a certificate as to any fact found by them.

 

Section 2.9 The chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure to be followed at such meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as he shall deem to be fair and equitable.

 

Section 2.10 The stockholders may participate in any meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

Section 2.11 Unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a written consent setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of any corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given in conformity herewith to those stockholders who have not consented thereto in writing.

Notice of special meetings of the Board of Directors need not state the purpose thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-laws.

Section 3.7 Members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in any meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear one another, and such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

Section 3.8 At any meeting of the Board of Directors, the presence of a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or by these By-laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting to any place, date, or time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

 

Section 3.9 Unless otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of

4

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by or on behalf of such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 6.2 The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article 6 or otherwise.

 

Section 6.3 If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Article 6 is not paid in full within sixty days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee my file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.

 

Section 6.4 The rights conferred on any Indemnitee by this Article 6 shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under any

7

statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Section 6.5 The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Indemnitee who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Indemnitee may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity.

 

Section 6.6 Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article 6 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Indemnitee in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification.

 

Section 6.7 This Article 6 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.

ARTICLE 7 - STOCK

 

Section 7.1 The certificates representing shares of stock of the Corporation shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued. Each stockholder shall be entitled to a certificate exhibiting such stockholder’s name and the number of shares held by such stockholder, which certificate shall be signed by the President or any Vice President, and by the Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary. Any or all of the signatures on such 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, such certificate may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Section 7.2 Transfers of stock shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Corporation maintained in an office of the Corporation or by transfer agents designated to transfer shares of the stock of the Corporation, and only by the person named in the certificate or by his attorney, lawfully constituted in writing, and upon surrender of the certificate therefor.

 

Section 7.3 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, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or 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, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of such meeting nor more than sixty days prior to any

8

other 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.

 

Section 7.4 The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of stock as the holder in fact thereof and accordingly 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, save as expressly provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 7.5 The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new certificate representing shares of stock in place of any certificate previously issued by the Corporation and alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, pursuant to such regulations as the Board of Directors may establish concerning proof or advertisement of such alleged loss, theft, or destruction and concerning the giving of a satisfactory bond or bonds sufficient to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft, or destruction of any such certificate.

 

Section 7.6 The issue, transfer, conversion, and registration of certificates of stock of the Corporation shall be governed by such other regulations as the Board of Directors may from time to time establish.

Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except as otherwise provided by law. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or by these By-laws.
