2.3	Special Meetings.

(a)

Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or any successor statute (the "DGCL"), or by or pursuant to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as it may be further amended or restated from time to time, including pursuant to any resolution or resolutions adopted in accordance therewith

by the Board of Directors providing for the establishment of one or more series of preferred stock of the Corporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called at any time only by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board, or, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b) below and all other provisions of these Bylaws, by the written request of the holders of record of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to vote at such special meeting, and no such special meeting may be called by any other person or persons (the term "Whole Board" shall mean the total number of Directors of the Corporation as fixed in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships). Upon written request of any person or persons referenced in the immediately preceding sentence who are authorized to call special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation and who have duly called such a special meeting, it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Corporation to fix the date of the meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 60 days after the receipt of the request and to give due notice thereof. If the Secretary shall neglect or refuse to fix the date of the meeting and give notice thereof, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so. Every special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place within or outside the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors or the officer calling the meeting may designate.

(b)

The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a written request from a stockholder to call a special meeting unless it is signed and dated by a stockholder of record and unless it includes: (i) a statement of the specific purpose(s) of the special meeting, the matter(s) proposed to be acted on at the special meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of each stockholder of record signing such request, the date of each such stockholder's signature and the name and address of any beneficial owner (as defined in Section 2.8 below) on whose behalf such request is made; (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock which are owned beneficially and of record by the stockholder and any such beneficial owner; (iv) any material interest of each stockholder or any such beneficial owner in the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting; (v) a representation that the stockholders and such beneficial owners submitting the special meeting request intend to appear in person or by proxy at the special meeting to present the proposal(s) or business to be brought before the special meeting; (vi) if any stockholder submitting the special meeting request intends to solicit proxies with respect to the stockholders' proposal(s) or business to be presented at the special meeting, a representation to that effect; and (vii) all information relating to each stockholder signing the special meeting request that must be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors in an election contest (even if an election contest is not involved), or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

A stockholder may revoke a special meeting request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary at any time prior to the special meeting, provided, however, if any such revocation(s) are received by the Secretary after the Secretary's receipt of written requests from the holders of the Required Percentage of Common Stock, and as a result of such revocation(s), there no longer are unrevoked requests from the percentage of holders of Common Stock required to call a special meeting pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting. The Secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a written request from a stockholder to call a special meeting that relates to an item of business (1) that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under applicable law, (2) if such request is delivered between the time beginning on the 61^st day after the earliest date of signature on a written request that has been delivered to the Secretary relating to an identical or substantially similar item (a "Similar Item") and ending on the one-year anniversary of such earliest date, or (3) if a Similar Item will be submitted for stockholder approval at any stockholder meeting to be held on or before the 90^th day after the Secretary receives such written request.

The Board of Directors shall determine in good faith whether the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3 have been satisfied. Any determination made pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be binding on the Corporation and its stockholders. The Board of Directors shall determine the place, and fix the date and time, of any stockholder-called special meeting. The Board of Directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at a stockholder-called special meeting. The record date for such meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 213 (or its successor provision) of the DGCL.

2.4

Notice of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided by the DGCL, whenever stockholders of the Corporation are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, written or printed notice of the meeting, stating the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary of the Corporation, to each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail addressed to a stockholder of the Corporation at such stockholder's address as it appears on the stock transfer records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Notice of any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation need not be given to any stockholder of the Corporation if waived by him in writing in accordance with Section 7.3 hereof. In addition, attendance at a meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when a stockholder of the Corporation attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting (and so expresses such objection at the beginning of the meeting) to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

2.5	Registered Holders of Shares; Closing of Share Transfer Records; and Record Date.
	(a)	Registered Holders as Owners. Unless otherwise provided by Delaware law, the Corporation may regard the person in whose name any shares issued by the Corporation are registered in the stock transfer records of the Corporation at any particular time (including, without limitation, as of a record date fixed pursuant to Section 2.5(b) hereof) as the owner of such shares at that time for purposes of voting such shares, receiving distributions thereon or notices in respect thereof, transferring such shares, exercising rights of dissent with respect to such shares, entering into agreements with respect to such shares, or giving proxies with respect to such shares; and neither the Corporation nor any of its officers, Directors, employees or agents shall be liable for regarding that person to be the owner of such shares at that time for those purposes, regardless of whether that person possesses a certificate for such shares.
	(b)	Record Date. For the purpose of determining stockholders of the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive a distribution by the Corporation (other than a distribution involving a purchase or redemption by the Corporation of any of its own shares) or a share dividend, or in order to make a determination of stockholders of the Corporation for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders of the Corporation, such date in any case to be not more than 60 days, and in the case of a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, not less than 10 days, prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of stockholders of the Corporation is to be taken. The Board of Directors shall not close the books of the Corporation against transfers of shares during the whole or any part of such period.
2.6	Quorum of Stockholders; Adjournment. Unless otherwise provided by the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, and the stockholders of the Corporation present at any duly convened meeting may continue to do business at such meeting or at any adjournment thereof notwithstanding any withdrawal from the meeting of holders of shares counted in determining the existence of a quorum. Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation may be adjourned from time to time, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken, and at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present any action may be taken that could have been taken at the meeting originally called; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 30 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 adjourned meeting.

2.7

Voting by Stockholders.

(a)

Voting on Matters Other Than the Election of Directors. With respect to any matters as to which no other voting requirement is specified by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote required for stockholder action shall be that of at least a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting (as counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the meeting). In the case of a matter submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation as to which a stockholder approval requirement is applicable under the stockholder approval policy of the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange or quotation system on which the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation is traded or quoted, the requirements of Rule 16b‑3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any other rule promulgated under the Exchange Act requiring a vote of stockholders, or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code, in each case for which no higher voting requirement is specified by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the vote required for approval shall be the requisite vote specified in such stockholder approval policy, Rule 16b‑3 or such other rule promulgated under the Exchange Act or Internal Revenue Code provision, as the case may be (or the highest such requirement if more than one is applicable). For the approval of the appointment of independent public accountants (if submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation), the vote required for approval shall be at least a majority of the votes cast on the matter.

(b)

Voting in the Election of Directors. Unless otherwise provided by or pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws in accordance with the DGCL, at a meeting of stockholders of the Corporation at which a quorum is present, a nominee for Director shall be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast for such nominee's election exceed the votes cast against such nominee's election; provided, however, that Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of stockholders for which the numbers of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected.

The Board of Directors expects a Director to tender his or her resignation if he or she fails to receive the required number of votes. This expected resignation requirement is detailed in the EDS Corporate Governance Guidelines and will be summarized or included in each proxy statement relating to an election of Directors of the Corporation.

2.8

Stockholder Proposals. At an annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly brought before such annual meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business or proposals must (i) be specified in the notice relating to the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof or (ii) be properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of such stockholder's notice provided for in this Section 2.8, (B) shall be entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (C) complies with the requirements of this Section 2.8, and

otherwise be proper subjects for stockholder action and be properly introduced at the annual meeting. For a proposal to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation, in addition to any other applicable requirements, such stockholder must have given timely advance notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, such stockholder's notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than 90 days nor more than 270 days prior to the scheduled annual meeting date, regardless of any postponements, deferrals or adjournments of such annual meeting to a later date; provided, however, that if the scheduled annual meeting date differs from the annual meeting date prescribed by these Bylaws as in effect on the date of the next preceding annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and if less than 100 days' prior notice or public disclosure of the scheduled annual meeting date is given or made, notice by such stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered or received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of such meeting was mailed to stockholders of the Corporation or the day on which such public disclosure was made. Any such stockholder's notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting (i) a description of the proposal desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of such stockholder proposing such business and any other stockholders of the Corporation known by such stockholder to be in favor of such proposal, (iii) the number of shares of each class or series of capital stock of the Corporation Beneficially Owned (as defined below) by such stockholder on the date of such notice and (iv) any material interest of such stockholder in such proposal. A person shall be the "beneficial owner" of any shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation of which such person would be the beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of Rule 13d‑3 promulgated under the Exchange Act; stock shall be deemed "Beneficially Owned" by the beneficial owner or owners thereof. The presiding officer of the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall determine whether the requirements of this Section 2.8 have been met with respect to any stockholder proposal. If the presiding officer determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8, he shall so declare at the meeting and any such proposal shall not be acted upon at the meeting. At a special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, only such business shall be conducted, and only such proposals shall be acted upon, as shall have been properly brought before such special meeting. To be properly brought before such a special meeting, business or proposals must (i) be specified in the notice relating to the meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof or (ii) constitute matters incident to the conduct of the meeting as the presiding officer of the meeting shall determine to be appropriate. In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, a stockholder of the Corporation shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.8.

Any Director of the Corporation elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office until such Director's successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and these Bylaws. Unless otherwise provided by or pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, no decrease in the number of Directors of the Corporation constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent Director of the Corporation. The term "Voting Stock" shall mean all outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of Directors of the Corporation, considered as one class; and, if the Corporation shall have shares of Voting Stock entitled to more or less than one vote for any such share, each reference in these Bylaws to a proportion or percentage in voting power of Voting Stock shall be calculated by reference to the portion or percentage of votes entitled to be cast by holders of such shares generally in the election of Directors of the Corporation.

The presiding officer of the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation shall determine whether the requirements of this Section 3.3 have been met with respect to any nomination or intended nomination. If the presiding officer determines that any nomination was not made in accordance with the requirements of this Section 3.3, he shall so declare at the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

3.11

Compensation. Directors of the Corporation shall receive such compensation for their services as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.

3.12

Removal.

(a)

No Director of the Corporation shall be removed from such office by vote or other action of the stockholders of the Corporation or otherwise, except by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class. No Director of the Corporation shall be removed from such office by vote or other action of the stockholders of the Corporation or otherwise, except for cause, which shall be deemed to exist only if: (i) such Director has been convicted, or such Director is granted immunity to testify where another has been convicted, of a felony by a court of competent jurisdiction (and such conviction is no longer subject to direct appeal); (ii) such Director has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (and such finding is no longer subject to direct appeal) or by the affirmative vote of at least a

		majority of the Whole Board at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors called for such purpose to have been grossly negligent or guilty of willful misconduct in the performance of his duties to the Corporation in a matter of substantial importance to the Corporation; (iii) such Director has been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be mentally incompetent, which mental incompetency directly affects his ability to perform as a Director of the Corporation; (iv) such Director has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (and such finding is no longer subject to direct appeal) or by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board at any regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors called for such purpose to have breached such Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders or to have engaged in any transaction with the Corporation from which such Director derived an improper personal benefit; or (v) "cause" for removal otherwise exists under Section 141(k)(1) of the DGCL. No Director of the Corporation so removed may be nominated, re-elected or reinstated as a Director of the Corporation so long as the cause for removal continues to exist. Any proposal by a stockholder of the Corporation to remove a Director of the Corporation, in order to be validly acted upon at any meeting, shall comply with Section 2.8 hereof.
	(b)	Notwithstanding Section 3.12(a) hereof, whenever holders of shares of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock of the Corporation are entitled to elect one or more Directors of the Corporation under circumstances as shall be provided by or pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, any Director of the Corporation so elected may be removed in accordance with such provisions.
3.13	Committees of the Board of Directors.
	(a)	The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Board of Directors, may designate and appoint from among its members one or more committees, each of which shall be comprised of one or more of its members, and may designate one or more of its members as alternate members of any committee, who may, subject to any limitations by the Board of Directors, replace absent or disqualified members at any meeting of that committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided by such resolution or in the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors to the extent permitted by the DGCL.
	(b)	The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to change the membership of any committee of the Board of Directors and to fill vacancies in it. A majority of the number of members of any such committee (excluding any committee memberships in which vacancies may exist) shall constitute a quorum of such committee for the transaction of business unless a greater number is required by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, or each such committee in the absence of action by the Board of Directors, may elect a chairman of such committee and appoint such subcommittees and assistants as it may deem necessary. Unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board of Directors, meetings of any committee shall be conducted (i) in accordance with Sections 3.9, 3.10 and 7.3 hereof and (ii) in the same

manner that Sections 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8 hereof apply to meetings of the Board of Directors. Any member of any such committee designated or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed by the Board of Directors whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Corporation will be served thereby, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of a member of a committee shall not of itself create contract rights.

(c)

Any action taken by any committee of the Board of Directors shall promptly be recorded in the minutes and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be made available to any and all Directors of the Corporation.
