If the notice is not given within 20 days after receipt of the request, the persons entitled to call the meeting may give the notice. Such request shall

Section 4. Notice of Meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, written notice of each meeting of the stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting. Such notice shall state the place, date, and hour of the meeting and (a) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, and no other business may be transacted, or (b) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board, at the time of the mailing of the notice, intends to present for action by the stockholders, but subject to the provisions of applicable law, any proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action. The
notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the names of nominees intended at the time of the notice to be presented by management for election.

Notice of a meeting of the stockholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail, or by other means of written communication, addressed to the stockholder at the address of such stockholder appearing on the records of the corporation or given by the stockholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice. Notice by mail shall be deemed to have been given at the time a written notice is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid. Any other written notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time it is personally delivered to the recipient or is delivered to a common carrier for transmission, or actually transmitted by the person giving the notice by electronic means, to the recipient.

Section 5. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of the corporation, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business thereat or any adjournment thereof, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 6. Voting.

(a) The stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote at any such meeting shall be only persons in whose name shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date determined in accordance with Section 7 of this Article.

(b) Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors in such other

corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes. Persons holding stock of the corporation in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote such stock. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote, unless in the transfer by the pledgor on the books of the corporation the pledgor shall have expressly empowered the pledgee to vote thereon, in which case only the pledgee, or the proxy of the pledgee, may represent such stock and vote thereon. Stock having voting power standing of record in the names of two or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants in common, tenants by entirety or otherwise, or with respect to which two or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship, shall be voted in accordance with the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware.

(c) Any such voting rights may be exercised, by the stockholder entitled thereto in person or by the stockholder’s proxy appointed by an instrument in writing in accordance with section 10 of this Article. The attendance at any meeting of a stockholder who may theretofore have given a proxy shall not have the effect of revoking the same unless the stockholder shall in writing so notify the Secretary of the meeting prior to the voting of the proxy.

(d) At any meeting of the stockholders all matters, except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, in these by-laws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon, a quorum being present. The vote at any meeting of the stockholders on any questions need not be by ballot, unless so directed by the chairman of the meeting. On a vote by ballot each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and each ballot shall state the number of shares voted.

Section 7. Record Date. The Board may fix, in advance, a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or any allotment of rights, or to exercise rights in respect of any other lawful action. The record date so fixed shall be not more than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the meeting nor more than 60 days prior to any other action. When a record date is so fixed, only stockholders of record on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or to receive the dividend distribution, or allotment of rights, or to exercise of the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of shares on the books and the corporation after the record date. A determination of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

If no record date is fixed by the Board, 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. The record date for determining stockholders for any purpose other than one set forth in this Section 7 of this Article shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto, or the sixtieth day prior to the date of such other action, whichever is later.

Section 8. Consent of Absentees. The transaction of any meeting of stockholders, however called and noticed, and wherever held, is as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum is present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each of the persons entitled to vote, not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice, or a consent to the holding of the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. All such waivers, consents, or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. Attendance of a person at a meeting stall constitute a waiver of notice of and presence at such meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by the Delaware General Corporation law to be included in the notice but not so included, if such objection is expressly made at the meeting. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice, except as may be provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 9. Action without Meeting. Unless otherwise proscribed by statute or the Certificate of Incorporation, any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares 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. Unless a record date for voting purposes be fixed as provided in Section 7 of this Article, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to give consent pursuant to this Section 9, when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given.

Section 10. Proxies. Every person entitled to vote shares has the right to do so either in person or by one or more persons authorized by a written proxy executed by such stockholder and filed with the Secretary. Any proxy duly executed is not revoked and continues in full force and effect until revoked by the person executing it prior to the vote pursuant thereto by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by the person executing the prior proxy and presented to the meeting, or as to any meeting by attendance at such meeting and voting in person by the person executing the proxy; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 11. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board may appoint any persons, other than nominees for office, as inspectors of elections to act at such meetings and any adjournment thereof. If inspectors of elections are not so appointed or if any person so appointed fails to appear or refuses to act, the chairman of any such meeting may, and on the request of any stockholder or stockholder’s proxy shall, make such appointment at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more stockholders or proxies, the majority of shares present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed.

The duties of such inspectors shall be as prescribed by the Board and shall include determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; the shares represented at the meeting; the existence of a quorum; the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots, or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining when the polls shall close; determining the result; and doing such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act, or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act, or certificate of all.

Section 12. Conduct of Meeting. The Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman at all meetings of the stockholders. The chairman shall conduct each such meeting in a businesslike and fair manner, but shall not be obligated to follow any technical, formal, or parliamentary rules or principles of procedure. The chairman’s rulings on procedural matters shall be conclusive and binding on all stockholders, unless at the time of a ruling a request for a vote is made to the stockholders entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the meeting, in which case the decision of a majority of such shares shall be conclusive and binding on all stockholders without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the chairman shall have all of the powers usually vested in the chairman of a meeting of stockholders.

Section 13. Preparation of Stockholder List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the 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 who is present.

Section 14. Stockholder Proposals at Meetings of the Stockholders.

(a) At an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the stockholders’ annual or special meeting, business must be (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board, (ii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board; (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. In addition to any other applicable requirements, and subject to any limitations on business which may be proposed or transacted at such meeting, including the provisions of Article II, Section 3 of these by-laws, for

business to be properly brought before an annual or special meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely with respect to an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be received at the principal executive office of the corporation not less than sixty (6O) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a notice to stockholders or to the Nasdaq National Market, by press release or otherwise) of the date of the annual meeting is made less than seventy (70) days prior to the date of the meeting, notice by the stockholder will be timely received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public disclosure was first made. To be timely with respect to a special meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be received at the principal executive office of the corporation not later than the close of business on tenth (10^th) day following the day on which the first public disclosure (whether by mailing of a notice to stockholders or the Nasdaq National Market, by press release or otherwise) of the date of the special meeting is made.

(b) A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth, as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual or special meeting: (1) a reasonably detailed description of any proposal to be made at such meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s stock register, of the stockholder proposing such business; (iii) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation which are beneficially owned by the stockholder; (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and (v) such other information relating to the stockholder or the proposal as is required to be disclosed under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission governing the solicitation of proxies whether or not such proxies are in fact solicited by the stockholder. Notwithstanding anything in these By-laws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual or special stockholders’ meeting except; in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 14; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 14 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder or of any business properly brought before the annual or special meeting in accordance with said procedures. The chairman of an annual or special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14, and if he should so determine, any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

ARTICLE III. DIRECTORS

Section 1. Powers. Subject to the limitations of the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to action required to be approved by the stockholders or by the outstanding shares, the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the direction of the Board. The Board may delegate the management of the day-to-day operation of the business of the corporation to a management company or other person provided that the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed and all corporate powers shall be exercised under the ultimate direction of the Board. Without prejudice to such general powers, but subject to the same limitations, it is hereby expressly declared that the Board shall have the following powers in addition to the other powers enumerated in these by-laws:

(a) To select and remove all the other officers, agents, and employees of the corporation, prescribe the powers and duties for them as may not be inconsistent with law, or with the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, fix their compensation, and require of them security for faithful service.

(b) To conduct, manage, and control the affairs and business of the corporation and to make such rules and regulations therefore not inconsistent with law; or with the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, as they may deem best.

(c) To adopt, make, and use a corporate seal, and to prescribe the forms of certificate of stock, and to alter the form of such seal and of such certificates from time to time as in their judgment they may deem best.

(d) To authorize the issuance of shares of stock of the corporation from time to time, upon such terms and for such consideration as may be lawful.

Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of

the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.

The stockholders may elect a director or directors at any time to fill any vacancy or vacancies not filled by the directors. Any such election by written consent other than to fill a vacancy created by removal requires the consent of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. If the Board accepts the resignation of any director tendered to take effect at a future time, the Board or the stockholders shall have the power to elect a successor to take office when the resignation is to become effective.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of the director’s term of office.

A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for such meetings.

Section 9. Action by Consent. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these by-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

Section 14. Rights of Inspection. Every director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect and copy all books, records, and documents of every kind and to inspect the physical properties of the corporation and also of its subsidiary
corporations, domestic or foreign. Such inspection by a director may be made in person or by agent or attorney and includes the right to copy and obtain extracts.

Section 15. Committees. The Board may appoint one or more committees, each consisting of two or more directors, and delegate to such committees any of the authority of the Board except with respect to:

ARTICLE V.

Section 1. Certificates for Stock.

(a) The shares of the corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as the Board shall prescribe, signed by, or in the name of, the corporation by the Chairman of the Board or the President or 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 of or all of the signatures on the certificates may be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon, any such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is used, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as though the person who signed such certificate, or whose facsimile signature shall have been placed thereupon, were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

(b) A record shall be kept of the respective names of the persons, firms or corporations owning the stock represented by such certificates, the number and class of shares represented by such certificates, respectively, and the respective dates thereof, and in case of cancellation, the respective dates of cancellation. Every certificate surrendered to the corporation for exchange or transfer shall be cancelled, and no new certificate or certificates shall be issued in exchange for any existing certificate until such existing certificate shall have been so cancelled, except in cases provided for in section 4 of this Article.

Section 2. Transfers of Stock. Transfer of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only on the books of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by such holder’s attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary, or with a transfer clerk or a transfer agent appointed as provided in Section 3 of this Article, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon. The person in whose name shares of stock stand on the books of the corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the corporation. Whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer if, when the certificate or certificates shall be presented to the corporation for transfer, both the transferor and the transferee request the corporation to do so.

Section 3. Regulations. The Board may make such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient, not inconsistent with these by-laws, concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates for shares of the stock of the corporation. It may appoint, or authorize any officer or officers to appoint, one or more transfer clerks or one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars, and may require all certificates for stock to bear the signature or signatures of any of them.

Section 4. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed, and Mutilated Certificates. In any case of loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of any certificate of stock, another may be issued in its place upon proof of such loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation and upon the giving of a bond of indemnity to the corporation in such form and in such sum as the Board may direct; provided, however, that a new certificate may be issued without requiring any bond when, in the judgment of the Board, it is proper so to do.

ARTICLE VI. OTHER PROVISIONS

Any such instrument may be signed by any other person or persons and in such manner as from time to time shall be determined by the Board and, unless so authorized by the Board, no officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the corporation by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or amount.

Section 2. Representation of Shares of Other Corporations. The President, any Vice President or any other officer or officers authorized by the Board or by the President are each authorized to vote, represent, and and exercise on behalf of the corporation all rights incident to any and all shares of any other corporations standing in the name of the corporation. The authority herein granted may be exercised either by any such

officer in person or by any other person authorized to do so by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by said officer.

Section 3. Stock Purchase Plans. The corporation may adopt and carry out a stock purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement providing for the issue and sale for such consideration as may be fixed of its unissued shares, or of issued shares acquired or to be acquired, to one or more of the employees or directors of the corporation or of a subsidiary or to a trustee on their behalf and for the payment for such shares in installment or at one time, and may provide for aiding any such person in paying for such shares by compensation for services rendered, promissory notes, or otherwise.

Any such stock purchase plan or agreement or stock option plan or agreement may include, among other features, the fixing of eligibility for participation therein, the class and price of shares to be issued or sold under the plan or agreement, the number of shares which may be subscribed for, the method of payment therefore, the effect of the termination of employment and option or obligation on the part of the corporation to repurchase the shares upon termination of employment, restrictions upon the transfer of the shares, the time limits of and termination of the plan or the agreement, and any other matters, not in violation of applicable law, as may be included in the plan or the agreement as approved or authorized by the Board or any committee of the Board.

Section 4. Accounting Year. The accounting year corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board.

Section 5. Amendments. These by-laws, or any of them, may be altered, amended or repealed, and new by-laws may be made, (i) by the Board, by vote of a majority of the number of directors then in office as directors, acting at any meeting of the Board, or (ii) by the stockholders, at any annual meeting of stockholders, without previous notice, or at any special meeting of stockholders, provided that notice of such proposed amendment, modification, repeal or adoption is given in the notice of special meeting. Any by-laws made or altered by the stockholders may be altered or repealed by either the Board or the stockholders.

ARTICLE VII. INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Scope of Indemnification. The corporation shall Indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding; whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact a such person is or was 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 expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware law and the Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 2. Advance of Expenses. Costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of a director, officer, employee, or agent in defending or

investigating any action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such matter, if such director, officer, employee or agent shall undertake in writing to repay any such advances in the event that it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no advance shall be made by the corporation if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (if such a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs) by independent legal counsel, that based upon the facts known to the Board or counsel at the time such determination is made, (a) the director, officer, employee or agent acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his duty to, the corporation or its stockholders, and (b) as a result of such actions by the director, officer, employee or agent, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that such director, officer, employee or agent is not entitled to indemnification.

Section 3. Other Rights and Remedies. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

Section 4. Continuation of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

Section 5. Insurance. Upon resolution passed by the Board, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was 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 such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this Article. .

ARTICLE VIII. EMERGENCY PROVISIONS

Section 1. General. The provisions of this Article shall be operative only during a national emergency declared by the President of the United States or the person performing the President’s functions, or in the event of a nuclear, atomic, or other attack on the United States or a disaster making it impossible or impracticable for the corporation to conduct its business without recourse to the provisions of this Article. Said provisions in such event shall override all other by-laws of this corporation in conflict with any provisions of this Article, and shall remain operative so long as it remains impossible or impracticable to continue the business of the corporation otherwise, but thereafter shall be inoperative; provided that all actions taken in good faith pursuant to such provisions shall thereafter remain in full force and effect unless

and until revoked by action taken pursuant to the provisions of the by-laws other than those contained in this Article.

Section 2. Unavailable Directors. All directors of the corporation who are not available to perform their duties as directors by reason of physical or mental incapacity or for any other reason or who are unwilling to perform their duties or whose whereabouts are unknown shall automatically cease to be directors, with like effect as if such persons had resigned as directors, so long as such unavailability continues.

Section 3. Authorized Number of Directors. The authorized number of directors shall be the number of directors remaining after eliminating those who have ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2, or the minimum number required by law, whichever is greater.

Section 4. Quorum. The number of directors necessary to constitute a quorum shall be one-third of the authorized number of directors as specified in the foregoing Section, or such other minimum number as, pursuant to the law or lawful decree then in force, it is possible for the by-laws of a corporation to specify.

Section 5. Creation of Emergency Committee. In the event the number of directors remaining after eliminating those who have ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2 is less than the minimum number of authorized directors required by law, then until the appointment of additional directors to make up such required minimum, all the powers and authorities which the Board could by law delegate, including all powers and authorities which the Board could delegate to a committee, shall be automatically vested in an emergency committee, and the emergency committee shall thereafter manage the affairs of the corporation pursuant to such powers and authorities and shall have all such other powers and authorities as may by law or lawful decree be conferred on any person or body of persons during a period of emergency.

Section 6. Constitution of Emergency Committee. The emergency committee shall consist of all the directors remaining after eliminating those who have ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2, provided that such remaining directors are not less than three in number. In the event such remaining directors are less than three in number, the emergency committee shall consist of three persons, who shall be the remaining director or directors and either one or two officers or employees of the corporation, as the remaining director or directors may in writing designate. If there is no remaining director, the emergency committee shall consist of the three most senior officers of the corporation who are available to serve, and if and to the extent that officers are not available, the most senior employees of the corporation. Seniority shall be determined in accordance with any designation of seniority in the minutes of the proceedings of the Board, and in the absence of such designation, shall be determined by rate of remuneration. In the event that there are no remaining directors and no officers or employees of the corporation available, the emergency committee shall consist of three persons designated in writing by the stockholder owning the largest number of shares of record as of the date of the last record date.

Section 7. Powers of Emergency Committee. The emergency committee, once appointed, shall govern its own procedures and shall have power to increase the

number of members thereof beyond the original number, and in the event of a vacancy or vacancies therein, arising at any time, the remaining member or members of the emergency committee shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies. In the event at any time after its appointment all members of the emergency committee shall die or resign or become unavailable to act for any reason whatsoever, a new emergency committee shall be appointed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article.

Section 8. Directors Becoming Available. Any person who has ceased to be a director pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 and who thereafter becomes available to serve as a director shall automatically become a member of the emergency committee.

Section 9. Election of Board of Directors. The emergency committee shall, as soon after its appointment as is practicable, take all requisite action to secure the election of a board of directors, and upon such election all the powers and authorities of the emergency committee shall cease.

Section 10. Termination of Emergency Committee. In the event, after the appointment of an emergency committee, a sufficient number of persons who ceased to be directors pursuant to Section 2 become available to serve as directors, so that if they had not ceased to be directors as aforesaid, there would be enough directors to constitute the minimum number of directors required by law, then all such persons shall automatically be deemed to be reappointed as directors and the powers and authorities of the emergency committee shall be at an end.
